Leslie has made them, but he is not using the forum anymore.

There is several groups on fb where you should be able to contact him.

Thanks for the info.

I sent Leslie an email earlier before posting this post, but I haven't received a reply from him yet.

If worst comes to worst I could always get a representative from the sheetmetal company to come around and take the measurements.

It would just be very helpful to get the correct measurements from someone with experience in this matter.

Thanks,

Nick

You can also simply take of the excisions ones and bring to the shop?

They need some heat to come loose.

I've just bought a pair of Penta 3's with some small dings in their cabinets.

I would like to get some new panels made up locally, but would like to get the correct dimensions for the panels, especially the correct angles for the bends before I go ahead and get the new panels manufactured.

If anyone here has successfully had new panels manufactured, any help in this regard would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

As an alternative, have a look at auto car specialist who work on “classic” Delorean body panels. The Belfast made Delorean had a sanded stainless steel body which was welded I think and initially difficult to work on. 

However, a few small Company’s have specialised in fixing dindsans scratches on these panels. I would bet one of these specialists could remove all blemishes and put new sanded/brushed texture for a fraction of newly made panels?

auto spell on iPad is a COS and so is the subsequent editing. Dindsans = Delorean

 

The last time I had contact with Leslie, he wasn't in the best of health. Is he still doing his refurbs?

I don't use facebook so no longer read about his exploits.

Today I removed the stainless steel from one of my Pentas. I must say that this is a rather difficult task, as those panels were extremely well secured with the double-sided tape that they used!

All of the panels were completely destroyed during the removal process and I really messed my hands up with cute and blisters!

I must say that the speaker actually looks rather cool in it's raw, black finish! As a result, I may consider refinishing them in a black anodised aluminium cladding!

The other speaker will remain in it's original finish for now.

Another thing that I've done is to orientate the tweeters and midranges symmetrically between the two speakers, as having the tweeter towards the inside on one speaker and towards the outside on the other was driving me crazy!
