Progressing well Tim. Just a small pointer, the pillar goes through a small hole in the pcb. I found that when I glued mine the glue was fouling the pcb and not allowing the case halves to mate back together properly. Worth a trial fit before to try and screw it all back together. Cheers Graham
I mentioned the flex in the glue as I thought maybe epoxy would stiffen the surround too much. I have no idea, though. And I must say, that speaker looks *warm*, like a speaker for wintertime.
Yes, my plan is only to use epoxy for fixing the cardboard ring to the metal speaker rim. The PVA glue should be OK for the bits that need to flex a bit. Most people (including me) use it to repair speakers, usually with success - but I don't think it would stick to metal very well, hence the epoxy for the rim.
Thanks Tim 😃

Thanks for that, Graham. I'll definitely check that!
