I am about to recone my SSD 12". I get the basic idea of how to recone, but not sure how to center the coil and dustcap. Any ideas/tips/advice? I'm kinda nervous about doing it myself because this will be a first time for me. Any help is needed.

logan, do it right and your doing my changing my 15, to a 18

And as Duran stated, you can use notecards as shims for centering the coil.

Make sure you get everything super clean and free of the old glue.
