A TR7 16V Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Looking for a set of those card panels at the outsides of the footwells to fit some speakers in. Don't really care about condition or anything really, as long as they'll take a pair of 125mm speakers.Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I cut some from hardboard when I fitted to my Vitesse. Coat of black paint or stick some black vinyl.... Or be poshand buy some millboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm not sure the original-spec millboard ones would be great for holding speakers securely, certainly old ones that are usually kinked or rotted and floppy with damp. Best to make your own as suggested above with some 3mm board. I did that for some speakers... covered with vinyl to match the interior they're strong and look good. It's an easy job if you have an original as a template but even without it's not a hard shape to measure up and mark out. You can buy the original style plastic clip fittings from the usual suppliers, use generic ones or simply us self tappers to fit them.

dingdong Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just been reading this thread thanks for the tips, think I will make my own too. My 13/60 has cut outs in the door frame for speakers, is there any difference in sound between door mounted and footwell, just thought in a convertible I might have a chance of hearing something mounted in the doors 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll get some board and cut to shape. It's a concertible too, so I'll let you know if I can hear them faded forwards when I do.

dingdong Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have finally finished all the body repairs and welding on mine today, MX5 seats to fit next then inertia seat belts back and front, before I get on to footwell panels and radio. But appreciate all the tips and info on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
