No knowledge, rarely see foam surrounds, and have never refoamed, reconed yes but again not involving foam

Friend has pair of Castle Acoustic Clyde speakers with no foam surround left. He also has no money - so commercial repair or replacement not possible. I have found foam surround suppliers in USA and NL but not UK - any pointers please? (Arfa or Nigel??)

Ok - thanks for the reply. May have to just replace the drivers - if I can ever work out if they are 5" or 5 1/4".

Thanks for the suggestion - sorry for the late reply. I have tried that website 3 times. At first it looked hopeful as they had manufacturers logos - but clicking on the Castle logo does not get me anywhere - just a slowly scrolling string of unconnected pictures. By using the "search" button and searching for castle it only finds one item :- "Refoam kit for 2x 8 inch Castle drivers" Which might be what I want - but no Model where used or dimensions given.

How to lose customers before they even get them...

If time is not an issue you could bodge replace the rolls - I did a pair of my own completely shot 8 1/2" drivers (the rolls were hanging in tatters) about 12 years ago using Diamond tape as the impervious base and strengthened with material for longevity - still going strong without distortion (subjective!) but they are 100W drivers and I never need to use them for anything more than about 20w and mostly at about the 5w level! Took an evening each. C+
