Just testing....
Good solid 18mm plywood crate heading for the skip. Cut in half gives 2 nice sized 175L cabs.
Port dimensions are from this drawing, internal volume of cab is the same.

I'm Dennis.
Hard work, but scotia PVAed in the corners will help.
Thanks Dennis, I have some 3/4” lath for that.
The frost is sitting thick on the cars in the driveway so I’m not overly inclined to go out to the garage just yet!
Bit parky here today, this is INSIDE the garage
All corner and edge bracing cut, glued and screwed in. The electric chop saw is the only way to go with this kind of work, I was able to get them just “so” for length that a gentle tap was required to fit them in, sweet! Glue and screws not totally necessary
Going to take the drivers out of the Lockwood cabs now and put them in the front baffles to get the holes marked for the mounting bolts.
Never tire of seeing these big drivers in the flesh, awesome. There’s a smell inside those Lockwood cabs that’s unique too, think it’s that horse hair type felt lining.
Yip, driver mounting PCD is 370mm as per Tannoy drawings, just checking.
Interestingly the cut out in the Lockwood baffle is only 295mm diameter. Wonder is that deliberate or a mistake. Sounds more like the size for the HPD315. Never noticed before, can’t see through the thick grill cloth.
Right, back to work.

Just back to these this evening.
Cross bracing fitted and driver mounting holes drilled in both cabinets.
If I find the bass too bloated I might staple some felt across that bracing like the aperiodic Lockwood Major cabinets and see what that’s like.
