[MP&C]

We're making some speaker "adapter" rings to be able to mount the speakers in the door. We used some 18 ga CRS to form rings, the seam was gas welded.







The outer flange is started on the Fasti-werks bead roller using the tipping die and the lower die we made last week.





Once it started to resist the tipping (needs stretching of the flange) we changed to using the linear stretch dies in the Lennox TE250

Originally we were looking at using the area below the power window motor, but in order to clear the power connector it would be too close to the bottom of the door...



With not much else for room in the door, we opted to open a hole at the rear area of the inner hinge brace.



With space above for the tweeter, this will closely mimic what we have in the rear kick panels..





The rings will get TIG welded in place, but before that we'll add a bit of structure back in the hinge brace.
