I have been looking for two hours and so I am going to ask
Modern drop in (or near enough) replacement recomendations for Kef T27 tweeter preferably available in Australia. For a pair of Kef Concertos found at the tip.
I would be very pleased if any one can advise me

This may not be the kind of money you are looking at spending Bullpeters but here you go:
Falcon B110 T27 Drive Units, KEF B110 T27 replacements

Wilmslow audio in the UK (Who are typically quite knowledgeable at these things) suggest the Vifa D27TG35-06 as a medium cost replacement (it is now made by Peerless), it is not exactly the same but should be close enough to bring them back to life if you don't want to pay for KEF originals.
In Australia you can order from Digikey (but probably if you do a local search you will find lots of other suppliers)
D27TG35-06 Peerless by Tymphany | Audio Products | DigiKey
or possibly the even cheaper

Both of this look like good options. The Wilmslow audio option is more of a “tweeter that fits” option where Falcon is a exact replacement that you have to pay for.
The Falcon may be better served for someone repairing and LS3/5a. I think they priced them for that crowd 🙂

I would fit another mylar dome by preference. Bit of a rarity these days, but the old Vifa D19TD-05 3/4" Poly Dome Tweeter is still available and cheap.

Any rising response with mylar is compensated by the grille cloth. It is a 94mm tweeter, so you must judge if it will fit in the space of the 108mm T27 cutout. Happens to be 6.3 ohms DC like the T27 which helps. Mylar domes have a pleasant enough sound and a unique signature. If any level adjustment is needed, that is simple enough with a wirewound resistor. Every ohm you add at the input takes it down a dB.
