Can you remember the thickness of the spacer between the Fane 8m and the Upperbass horn throat?  I have no idea what thickness is needed but I assume some kind of spacer is necessary to stop the surround striking the horn.  The back half of the horns are turned and I am thinking about fitting the drivers and the cover for the back chamber.
Anthony, I have no idea, I did not build my upperbass horn and completely outsourced it to my builder. At that time I did not have a lot of experience with correlation of horn construction and sound and I had no particular opinion about the subject. I still have no my own practical experience to build horns and I the confidence that I excess sometimes on the subject come from talking not from doing the my own practical thin. If you would like some practical recordation, then talk to good reputed builders. Not all od then can corelate the building techniques with results. I very much Bruce Edgar and John Hasquin for instance. 

Bruce is very conditioned. He knows a lot have very highly reputed by my standards taste and but the solution that advocate is very much contingent upon the demand and character of his customers. Most of his customers are Mormons (like most people in audio) and when Moron need a solution from Bruce then he very much delegates the quality and complexity of his solution to very identifiable demands and understanding of his specific customer. If you however have good identity what you want and will dig Bruce deeper then a shallow surface then you can discover that his is a bottomless well of knowledge, practical experience and cultural class that you will handy ever will be able consume. So, if you jump in bed with Bruce then you will get a spectacular consulting.   
 
John Hasquin is an armature, it means the he does not make living by building horns but he made a lot of them and he is not a copromoting person, he can afford to shot for stars in anything he does. I absolutely love his judgment and his reasoning, he was BTW the guys who built most of my horns.   
 
There are many other guys out there who are interesting in horns building like Jeffrey Jackson, but they are more on professional side and I am not sure if they willing to spend their time for project of enthusiasts.  Bruce is very happy to consult horns enthusiasts, you can find him at AA’s High Efficiency forum. John Hasquin hangs around DIYAidio.com side.
