cheap way to make aftermarket door speakers fit

[RENEGADE76254]

i searched lookin for ways to do this but didnt find any i thought were worth the time or the money i wanted to invest. i got sum 6 1/2 door speakers for my b-day to replace the old factory ones and then i started to intalled them i noticed the mounts for the 6 1/2 on factory are offset outside of the aftermarket mounting ring. so i went to tractor supply and got sum 22 gauge sheet metal in a small sheet (5 bucks). cut out an outline of the facoty speaker and then the inside of the aftermarket. used the foam padding off the factory speaker to put between the new speaker and plate. screwed speaker 2 plate. screwed plate to facoty mount and i was done. it took a lil while do the guess and check for the first one but the 2nd was easy i just used the first as a stencil.

sorry guys my net has been down for a week or so... dad has digital camera sumwhere so i just drawed this in paint sorry for the wait, if u got any question let me know....

-red lines are outline of homemade plate
-green is original mounting hole
-black dotes are original mounting screw holes
-yellow is 6.5 speaker
-round black dotes are 6.5 mounting holes

the size of plate will vary in proportion of sketchthe only part of plate actually visible will be the tabs where the screws will go in the old holes

If you get them in and you window won't go down. Take a 3/4 spacer and a new bolt and install it where the window track mounts the door.

Could you e-mail me the dimensions/diagram for that plate? I couldn't make the numbers out on the small pic. My e-mail is bronor.at.gmail.com.
Thanks!
