A sharp blade in the matte knife quickly takes care of this. I do my errands and also stop at a surplus store where I pick up two very promising looking brand new five inch speaker enclosures from an unknown GM vehicle (the cheap speakers say AC Delco so I am assuming that these come from a GM assembly line) I am however primarily interested in the ABS housings which I will test fit on the ULTIMA. I will buy some good quality speakers and toss out the AC Delco's if I like the fit of the enclosures. I return home and test fit the speaker enclosures on the chassis portion under the dash and they look like they will do nicely with the fabrication of some custom brackets. I am however also going to explore fabricating aluminum brackets as per the latest factory build CD before I commit to these ABS units. An email to Pistonheads may be in order, to sound out other builders before I do anything with these enclosures.   Size 98.93K  Date Jul,02,2005     Title Sill cover spacers - slight oozing of bonding material at edge - another view Description Sill cover spacers - slight oozing of bonding material at edge - another view.
