Hey all, quick question regarding the foam bits just outside the foam surrounds of say a 128H or PR300- what are those called?

I'm looking at buying a set of PR300's from ebay (I want the original black woofer look):
VINTAGE JBL PR 300 12" PASSIVE RADIATOR SPEAKERS SET OF 2 JAMES B. LANSING | eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/333882236985)

But one of them is missing two quarters of those foam things. I looked at a few refoam kits, but they don't come with those things. So I think if I knew what they were called I might have better luck finding them lol. Anyone know? Would you also happen to know where I could find them? If they're available, I might as well buy new ones for both PR300's.

Those are the front mounted gaskets but drivers are rarely mounted that way. Used to be cork back in the day. You should be able to get replacements for a 12" driver but they probably won't match what's left.

Cool, thanks Rob! :)

These look like they should fit the bill, right?:

How about these refoam kits, any experience with them?:

Just email Rick directly and tell him you heard about him from the LH site. [email protected] (http://[email protected])

I've used him several times and his products work perfectly and his advice is spot-on.
I received four surrounds from him a couple of weeks ago. Great guy and a fellow 4345 owner, too.

Oh, ok. I'll do that if I win those PR300's. Thank you :)
