Does anyone know where to buy spacers to suit 6.5" woofers?

Preferably angled.. this needs to be probably atleast 2-3cm.

I have tried Jaycar - they only sell 6".

I have tried Strathfield - they only sell the same one branded as a 6.5" (what a ****ing waste of time).

Any suggestions puh-leeeese? I can't find a pair and been waiting for this to install my woofers, put my tweeters in and put the door trims back on and it's holding me up !!! :)

Thanks guys.

[edit: The ones I've made and had in my previous car dont have enough clearance and they are about 1cm thick so I'd rather not make them up cos then I have to go lookin for thick thick mdf - this will be a last reserve as my doors are heavy enough.]

Thanks Marty.

The jaycar ones are 6.5" external diameter. I lined them up with the spacer that comes with the woofer they didn't line up at all - the internal diameter was from memory about 3-4mm smaller than the mounting spacer that came with the speakers.. I guess now that you mention it it might have cleared them with the other spacer in there as well but the guy did say 6" only.

The strathos ones are advertised as up to 6.5" but yeah the speaker did not fit them - altho now that you mention it p'raps if I use the spacer that comes with the speaker it will fit? Hmm I must try this tommorow.

Are yours angled? - because honostly I'd rather give you my (humble) business than jaycar - those ugly ****s i dealt with can screw their resistors up their respective arses. Strathos I dislike even more.

How much would they be to my door?

I'll checkout the ones we got from strathos again (which bugger arent angled) and see if they will fit (they look like the same size as the jaycar ones).

Thanks - You may be hearing from me on saturday haha.

I just sent you an email too re: an amp :rofl:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
