Good morning. When your Hobby is building large scale RC tanks, the Post always seems to be arriving. *chuckles* ...until it is slow and doesn't... Then it is time to anticipate.... ;o)

A metal cover off of a gift card box is drilled and screwed into place using the speaker mounting posts. It is a nice cover for the original speaker grill.

I looked in all the time, Painless, but I don't post much because you know I'd be wondering about the paintball and I'm sure you don't want to hear it. @)
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!
