Options for aviator tower speaker upgrades

I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve welding. I see people have done it without welding but didn't describe how it was fabricated.

Where are you seeing that? My route involved welding 1/2" spacers to the oem plate, MLA solution is similar, but his weld is hidden (guessing a cutout on the plate allowing a backside weld).

You could thru bolt the Wetsounds base thru the spacer into the oem plate if you wanted, but I would for sure want a nut on the inside.

I had custom brackets I designed machined for mine, and now I'm having a hard time remembering if I was able to put a nut on the inside of the threaded plate. I'm pretty certain, if you thru bolt, the spacing is just enough to let you get a nut on the inside.

CNC milled starting with block of billet. Down side, it leaves quite a bit of material on the floor. But no welding involved.

There's the confusion. I thought your plates weren't welded. I'll look into getting some adapters machined. You aren't selling yours anymore, correct?

They are two piece that are welded together. We wen this direct for the very reason noted above.

I know this is bringing back an old thread and probably a long shot but did either of you guys end up making a larger batch of your spacer solution for the sbend uppers that you would be willing to sell?
