Joe Munoz (Cost-Penn on this site; doing another frame off restoration on Classic Oldsmobile) used the above to repair his speakers. I have heard nothing but good things about the quality of their work. I don't know costs involved.

Hey...call me crazy, and there aren't a lot of people fussier than me. But why would you recone an old speaker when you can buy a new better sounding repro from turnswitch.com, that has a modern magnet for less bucks? Maybe I could see doing a rear, because of the "look" and the single wire. But they have a rear that will work, also. It's all I run in my cars now.

Incorrect physical shape and impedance, usually.

No, these are a compatible impedance and shape. The rears are the correct shape to fit, but the magnet looks different. They fit the factory bracket. Look at the website.

I bought factory repos from turnswitch for my 76 Cutlass as I wanted to keep my 8 track player. They have the 8-10 ohm replacements for just about any car. Great guys and very informative.

I looked. Impressive. They even can replace the angled Chevelle dash speaker. You're right, maybe there is no reason not to replace.
