Advent /3 Speakers - Recap and Recone Question

I'm planning to recap and recone my Advent /3 speakers but I'm confused about the model. Most kits online are for the Advent 3 (no slash) and seem to be for 10" woofers. Mine have a 6–7" driver with rubber surrounds. Anyone know how to identify this model or if it goes by a different name? Also looking for any reccos on links to good recap/recone kits.

I have to ask, why a recone? I have a feeling that since these are a fairly unusual model, there won't really be any drop in recone "kits" and you may have to come up with your own. For the crossover, you need a 16 uf and a 3uf bipolar capacitor at 50v, you could get both pretty easy off Parts Express.

They are rubber surrounds and figured that I would need to replace but just opened them up and they actually seem like they are pretty solid. Gonna play them for a bit and see how they hold up.
 
I don't believe those surrounds are known to go bad in those speakers. I know they do limit the overall volume they'll play to, but to improve that you would need new woofers.
