KEF 104/2 tweeters

Good afternoon everyone. I just picked up a pair of KEF 104/2 speakers on CL. They are fully functional and I currently have them integrated in my system (Parasound Halo preamp and Nakamichi PA-5 amp).  I am concerned about the tweeters (one is slightly dented) and the ferrofluid. I've read some DIY fluid advice and am contemplating doing the work.  However, I've also heard that these tweeters are not top quality.  I've considered replacing them all together with Morel MTD 30s buy I can't seem to find any.  I would like to find a direct fit so I don't have to retro fit anything. Not sure about other available tweeters.... Also, do you believe it's worth while to do the surrounds while I have it pulled apart. Or any other suggestions for how to rehab them?? Thank you much!

If you have to take them apart, flip the bottom for the top woofer after the foam refit..., as this will give the natural over time sag of the drivers -- a chance to relax in the opposite position.

the in situ position of the woofers is bad for them (horizontal up and horizontal down), and.....over time, they tend to sag..so flipping them top for bottom when refoaming... is the remedy.

I don’t know if this can be done with the 104/2 woofers, but it should be done if at all possible.
