I see that planet 10 used to offer phase plugs for the FE126En, but it doesn't look like any are currently available.
Does anyone have dimensions for the plugs? They should be pretty easy to 3D print.
Thanks,

Dave does not take PMs, but he can be emailed via his commercial site. Ask him for an update to the currently broken link on this page re “FE126/127 note” planet_10 hifi
The sales of the FE126 plug were so slow that when i ran out i decided to discontinue them. On request i will send the drawing to you so you can reproduce them.
If you do not have pushed in dustcaps on an FE12x driver, i do not recommend adding plugs (EnABL them instead). And if you do have dented caps try this trick 1st:

Dave, thanks for the advice. The dustcaps are severely damaged, I'll try the first trick, but I'm sure my OCD will eventually want to get rid of the caps all together.

Phil, if you’ve not already found it, here’s the repaired link to Dave’s website page referencing potential issues with the FE126/127, which was certainly a likely factor in the softening sales of phase plugs for those particular models. Note the date is 2012, and current production 126s may not have the same issue with vulnerability of voice coil / tinsel lead out connection.

About 2005 Fostex revised the FE1272/126e so that this was not a problem. The FE127 can be differentiated by a different round-over on the magnet cover.
