    Need groceries, gas and time to wash the Countryman. It has been neglected a bit these last couple of weeks while the owner is out East.

    I have been switching between CM #1 (primary with pup), Scooter (07) and the Jeep. The Jeep almost died with a low battery, I guess I need to drive more.

    Hydro after the wash of course, nice day today in Colorado.

    I took my MINI out today, even with a jacked up tensioner, and picked up a toilet repair kit. Why are all new toilet parts all cheap ass plastic? I did find a good metal ballcock replacement kit that should last longer then the cheap plastic parts.

    Do you really think you can repair your tensioner with toilet parts? I bet it will go all to carp if you do. :wink:

    Finally made it out to the garage and got the door panels back together. Replacing the door speakers is next. Debating if I should just mount them to the door or build spacers. Thoughts???

    I used 3/4 MDF and made speaker rings that I could mount speakers to.
    Then I mounted the MDF rings to the door.

    The wood will sound insulate and hold the screws better than the door metal.

    Also it would be a good idea add some "type of" Dynamat sound deadening material to the inner and outer doors. This will keep your doors solid and not rattle and make the speaker sound even better. :Thumbsup:
