Standard Replacement Speakers, Compatibility?

[taffy1967]

I've got the same standard issue radio cassette and 2 round speakers fitted flush on the rear parcel shelf of my 1990 Mini Cooper, but the speakers blew years ago and so what I'd like to know is would these speakers be a suitable straight swap for my existing originals?: -

At that price you can't go wrong, just so long as they fit in the same holes and connect up via the same socket wires?

Plus after cross referencing that part number on Somerford Minis pdf price list, it shows up the fact that their charging £60.25 for each speaker plus VAT. They have them listed as simply 'Parcel Shelf Speaker', but I can't find the actual items listed in the shop pdf parts pages (I probably can't see the wood for the trees or something?).

So I really hope those speakers are suitable and in stock with X-Part?

Well there's no point getting some serious stereo install, as I usually have a car full of kids screaming with delight as I'm throwing the Mini around the hair pin bends on the Bwlch mountain.



Anyway I can't multi-task and enjoy listening to Pink Floyd, whilst watching Doctor Who and driving at the same time.

My brain would overload!

;D

Oh God I hope not, I've got that 'Mini 40' brochure and you can't so much as touch the damn thing because it sets it off. Then it's near impossible to get it to stop!

Well I've since been told that X-Part don't have any stock and that Somerford Minis bought them all up and are charging 30 quid for a set.

I was told this by someone on The Mini Forum, so I'll probably give Somerfords a ring when I get a chance.
