Post Subject: Centering in on centeringPosted by jessie.dazzle on: 3/21/2009

For centering :

The thickness of the ring that clamps the "bug screens" is around 3mm; in other words, there is a very short (+-3mm deep) "horn" in front of the screen. This allows one to center the driver using a metal (or hard material) tube or plug of the same diameter (in my case, a large 1/2 drive socket, from a socket wrench, on a long extension) , inserted from the front of the horn. This will also stop any drift of the horn during tightening of the mounting flange bolts.

Getting adaptors made :

Pete, if you have trouble getting the adaptors made elsewhere, I can dig up the info of the guy who made mine. I don't remember the price, only that it was very reasonable. He does not work with CAD info, so I had to supply prints. I shall now attempt to post them (wish me luck; in the past this has never worked. One of the few uncivilized aspects of the Good Sound Club web site is an historic incompatibility with civilized browsers, making certain operations, such as the posting of image files, impossible via a Mac !!!).

Otherwise, I will post them once back at work where I have access to a PC.
