an update on the Tweeter: kept the inductance from 0.5 and switch to cap from 4.7 100v to 3.3 250v polypropylene. the tweeter is less intrusive in the low end and has balanced in the high end.
all these precautions will be swept away when I will do a simulation of the frequency response. we will see some beautiful things 🙂

Buy a proper woofers and kill all the competition in the village 🙂
Reading further the driver is made by Volt for Graham and Falcon can make suitable crossover for LS3/5 variant or sell the parts . The original tweeter was a Kef T27 (A6340) which was a rebranded Seas H086 and Graham is apparently using stock Seas tweeter in their version.
this is not a shortcut to get to the LS 3/5a, I've already done those with the right mid-woofer. 🙂
here we are with the last and definitive version in photos of the Crossover in its standard dimensions (120 * 130mm) to be mounted on the back of the Tweeter as LS 3/5a.
I'm still in listening / testing mode because alternating Carver M 1.5t and Jeff Rowland model 1 I could make a last change to the Tweeter, regarding the attenuation with R1 1.8 & R2 4.7, but we'll see.
For now this is all and the sound is good.

The last and definitive version? In your own words, "we'll see"! 
You've obviously had a lot of fun tuning this crossover, and the finished product certainly looks the part.
Well done in pursuing this interesting little project.
