sa rear speakers

Will rear speaker mounts from an fb fit into an sa? My 79 s model didn't come with rear speakers, i wired it in for them but don't have the speaker mounts. The plastic covers for the rear have speaker grills in them though.

bonus question: does the black SEM paints match the black sa interior?

I used some black satin interior paint I got at advancedzone and its a perfect match and went on well
and smooth. I thought I did a thread on this but apparently not. Anyway, if you want to know the paint
I used I can look in my paint box to see. I still have the cans.

I just used the Krylon stuff in Satin Black, even painted my center console ashtray and it
matches perfectly to the rest of the console. I bought the satin and gloss black, sprayed
them on the back of one of the larger pieces and used the satin. Took the whole can, all
thats left is the gloss now.

ColorMaster® Paint + Primer - | Krylon

I thought I did a write up for this but I guess I slacked on it. I should write up the process just to document how I did
it. Someone else may find it useful. I did go over everything with a 3m pad lightly and then cleaned it all with solvent
and then alcohol to really get it clean. I think thats important. You can still scrape this off if you really gouge it but
its pretty durable and can be recoated anytime.
