So I have recently acquired 2 pair of Tannoy i8's, three of them have the original tweeters and one has an improvised replacement that i would like to replace with an original or as close to original part as possible.

This is what is in there.

The manual says.

The manual says it is just a driver kit 7900 2062 and only gives the HF unit diaphragm unit, I would need both the magnet and diaphragm and also these parts are not available to buy so would need used, which leads me to the ask if anyone has any knowledge of these tweeters, they seem to have multiple part numbers but all look very similar so I am wondering if Tannoy used a standard part across many models and just used different crossovers in the other boxes, hope you get what I mean.

So I wonder if this unit would slide right in there or am I barking up the wrong tree.

This one has a completely different magnet structure but same front end.
