New 4x10 front speaker bracket doesn’t fit

[Pawpaw68]

I’m restoring my 68 RR and the replacement direct fit Retro Sound speaker is not a bolt in. It’s off about 3/8”. Who sells a correct fit front speaker for my B body?

Are you using the stock speaker bracket? It only goes in one way it is offset, flip it around and try it.

I screwed up and tossed it. When I realized my mistake it was too late. It was roaches but I would have used it for pattern. I appreciate the contact. I’ll pursue that option. I used Retro Sound before and didn’t have issues. Live and learn I guess.

I have two of S&M Electro front speakers in two of my cars. Two small speakers on a bracket, they fit. They're from Blaine, Minnesota.

The S and M speaker doesn’t have the correct mounting tabs. I’m guessing maybe the reason to save the old.

I just mounted these to the original bracket in my 69 RR. They fit fine.

But the dash is out of the car.

Thank you. Gives me another idea. I never dreamed some of these little issues would be such a pain. Also pricey.

My dash is out also. I’m going to make tabs so the retro sound speaker will work. I’ll post pictures next week for the next victim if it helps.
