2 1/2" Tweeters for 89 Carrera?

Have searched here and the internet looking for tweeters for my 89 Carrera with no luck.

Anyone know a source for tweeters that will fit?

Does your '89 currently have tweeters you're looking to replace, or are you simply looking to add? My '86 didn't come with tweeters, but I replaced my factory speakers with separates that included a 1.5" tweeter without problem -- there was already a cutout in the cardboard door panel backing and I simply cut a slit in the door panel vinyl to add. If you're looking to replace an in-place 2.5" tweeter, you might want to check out parts express -- Parts Express: the #1 source for audio, video & speaker building components -- they have a variety of different tweeters, including this one https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-dc28f-8-1-1-8-silk-dome-tweeter--275-070, which has a 2.71" cutout diameter.

Yes. It has factory tweeters already there but, being 25 years old, they are shot. I replaced the large door speakers and the rears already. Figure I might as well replace the tweeters since they are already there.

Thank you for the links.
