How to Put on Nightshade Dust Cap

[sundownz 197]

THIS IS FOR WOOFERS WITH THE PLASTIC CENTERING CAP

** If you do not have the centering cap use Amazing Goop for the dust cap **

Seems people have ALOT of problems putting caps on their re-cones so this is how it is done :

Buy two of these containers of Loctite FIVE MINUTE epoxy w/ mixing tubes at Lowes (DO NOT USE ONE MINUTE):

----------

First Step :

Put epoxy around the edges of the disc as shown - make sure to get a good bit in the little holes so it is filled in.

----------

Second Step:

Wait about 5 minutes for the first step to dry.

CAREFULLY make a bead around the dust cap to fill in the gap area. You will see Brandon traces back a bit at the end - this is because the epoxy keeps dripping out a bit and we don't want it on the cone. Don't put too much or it will run over onto the cap!

if you do by chance get some on the cap do panic wait till it starts to get solid and kind of like jelly and use your finger to pick it off

We no longer use the plastic alignment rings so this is no longer necessary -- but I'll leave it around in case anyone has an old recone.
