[quote][i]Originally posted by nibnob21[/i] Cheers Dave :) I've managed to sort out the headrest speakers. I set out to modify the hard plastic covers to protect the speakers and hold them in place without squashing them. I removed the four bolts that held in the previous speakers: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/186.jpg[/IMG] Then took the dremel to the round bits to leave four little stands: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/187.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/188.jpg[/IMG] The speakers didn't seem to be fouling on the stands, so all good! Put some flashing tape over some bits just to cover any little sharp plastic edges: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/189.jpg[/IMG] Then slotted the speakers into the headrests and screwed the plastic covers on: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/190.jpg[/IMG] I could tell after just a day or so that something wasn't right though. So I took the covers back off and it was obvious the speakers were fouling on something: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/191.jpg[/IMG] So back to the drawing board. I found I still had some old arch bolts and plastic nuts from the Corsa and thought they could come in handy: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/192.jpg[/IMG] So out with the dremel again and I completely smoothed off the stands: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/193.jpg[/IMG] Plan was to screw a plastic nut fully on the bolt (to act as a spacer), glue the bolts onto the plastic case then use another plastic nut to hold the speakers in place: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/194.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/195.jpg[/IMG] Trimmed the edges of a few of the nuts: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/196.jpg[/IMG] Then bolted the speakers down: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/197.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/198.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/199.jpg[/IMG] All back in the car now and it seems to have done the job. They're held far more securely with no rattles. Touch wood that remains the case. [/quote]
