Repairing/Replacing Rubber surrounds?

Hi there,
i recently purchased a pair of marcrom 59.13 drivers, Being told that one of the surrounds has one tear in it thats half a cm long.
Well he lied
it actually has 1 15mm tear, 2 10mm tears, 2 5mm tears and a couple of little tiny ones. How the hell he did it i don't know
So, is there any way of repairing these, or will there be a replacement option for me for just the surround, the only rubber replacement surrounds i've found (from speakerbits.com) don't have the right size

Thanks

Tim

Pics can be provided if needed

Wilmslow Audio is a good bet. Email them with your model number and they'll get back to you. I used them to replace some old Heybrook HB1 drivers.

Re: Repairing/Replacing Rubber surrounds?

no luck with wilmslow, they suggested replacements, but i want matching, and morel/macrom drivers look so distinctive with there huge dust caps and 3" VC's

has anyone here tried repairing with rubber cement/suitable superglue for rubber?
