I just bought a pair of nicely preserved L26s with re-foamed woofers. Whoever did the refoam job apparently used some kind of "universal" kit with an outer gasket consisting of four sections, each with TWO cutouts for mounting screws for a total of eight cutouts around the circumference. Since the 125A uses only four mounting screws, there are are four of the cutouts that are unused which gives a non-original, less than "clean" look.
The kit used looks like this:

I know I'm being picky but I'd like these vintage Decades to look as original as possible. Where can I buy the original-style 125A outer gasket, with only four cutouts for the mounting screws? The one I'm l seeking should look like this:

Also, are these gasket sections easily removed without tearing the woofer foam? Are they mounted with a mild adhesive? Thanks!
