{"title":"Prep \u0026 Installation Tools","description":"\u003cp\u003eA surround repair is only as good as the surface it's bonded to, and this collection covers everything you need to get a clean, lasting fit alongside your surrounds or repair kit. Our speaker chassis prep wipes are soaked in 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) at industrial strength, formulated to strip away old adhesive residue, dust and grease from the basket and cone before you fit a new surround — skipping this step is one of the most common reasons a re-glued surround fails early.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also stock T7000 adhesive in both 15ml and 50ml sizes here, the same glue we recommend across all our repair kits for its flexibility and strong bond to foam, rubber, paper and metal baskets alike. Between the prep wipes and the right adhesive, you've got the two things that separate a repair that lasts years from one that lets go in months. If you're unsure what you need for your specific speaker, drop us a message with your make and model and we'll point you in the right direction.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"t7000-glue-15ml","title":"T7000 Glue - 15ml","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eT7000 speaker repair glue.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuitable for 2 surround repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModel: T7000-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"North Speaker Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42864460234993,"sku":"T7000-15","price":4.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/4015\/5889\/products\/15ml.jpg?v=1653738214"},{"product_id":"t7000-glue-50ml","title":"T7000 Glue - 50ml","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eT7000 speaker repair glue.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e50ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuitable for 4 surround repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModel: T7000-50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"North Speaker Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42864460628209,"sku":"T7000-50","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/4015\/5889\/products\/50ml.jpg?v=1653738237"},{"product_id":"2-pack-speaker-chassis-prep-wipes-70-ipa-industrial-strength","title":"2-Pack Speaker Chassis Prep Wipes | 70% IPA Industrial Strength","description":"\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003ePro-Grade Speaker Chassis Cleaning Wipes (70% IPA)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe secret to a perfect, factory-grade speaker repair is a flawlessly clean frame.
