1966 Dash Speaker

[Soell66]

I have searched everywhere to find a 66 front dash speaker replacement. Has anyone had any luck finding one that fits the stock mounting holes?

Gaspig I believe posted up a replacement in a thread a while back iirc.

got mine yesterday from amazon. another CB member posted this while back when i posed the same question. this is the one he suggested

i went with this one only because i didn't want a red speaker staring at me. this one has blue LED lighting however it has separate prongs to power the LED which i will not use.

my 67 came with a fiber board type spacer for the speaker and it matches the new speaker mounting holes. i believe the speaker will make contact with the dash grill so i was planning on using rubber washers to push the speaker away from the grill and to act as insulators

Here you go! the midrange speaker Protrudes out past that fibre board. I plan to use either a piece of foam cut out as you see in the pic or rubber washers.
