Measure the tweeter Steve. If they are the right size, they are a great spot.

Well done Jamie!

Don't use PVA glue. The results are better with this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aleenes-Original-Tacky-Craft-Glue-4oz-BUY-4-GET-2-FREE-PLACE-6-IN-BASKET/192337450741?epid=2282075662&hash=item2cc83496f5:g:bwsAAOSwnw9Z50MU

Pro Glue for foam Geoff

If it's a contact adhesive it may cause problems, 'cos it grabs.

The Aleenes is water based and the surfaces can be moved around whilst setting, a great advantage. I've done loads of cone surrounds and tried various adhesives and this is by far the best I've used. It's better than the glue that is often supplied with foam surrounds. Oh, and it's what I used to repair Oliver's Pioneers and my Tannoys.

Trust me mate, I've been at this for a long time and I don't cock things up.

Listen to Geoff. He IS the guru.

Yes mate. Came back like new. Still functioning perfectly. Although mine were a bit of a DIY repair rather than a nice kit. Can't fault it though.
