Does
your original JBL dust cap look like this? If so then we have a
quick, simple and inexpensive Do-It-Yourself fix.
Another original JBL aluminum dust cap will not fit over another
original JBL dust cap but our aftermarket aluminum dust cap is
just a little larger and fits very nicely.
Cut
the damaged dust cap right at the line where the dome turns and
starts strait down. Cut all the way around and discard old dust
cap.
Make
sure that you clean any debris that might have gotten loose
under the dust cap. Take a piece of masking tape and wipe it
across the palm of your hand a few times to remove most of the
sticky. Insert the tape between the coil and the pole piece with
the sticky side towards the pole piece. Run the tape around a
few times to remove any debris from the gap.
Make
a handle from a piece of masking tape and stick it to the top of
the new dust cap. Dry fit the new dust cap to see where you will
need to put the bead of glue.
The
bead should go right in the space between the voice coil and the
cone.
Place
the new dust cap into the glue. Leave the tape on the dust cap
until the glue has dried. You may also need to put a weight on
the dust cap to keep it down in the glue. We have found that a
upside down shot glass works very well for the weight.
This is a 4.125-in aluminum dust
cap. This dust cap can be used to repair a damaged or missing
dust cap for may JBL speakers D130, D130F, D140, D140F, D131,
D120 to name a few, that use the 4-in dust cap.
