KEF 104 grill shape

I recently acquired a pair of kef 104aB. The model had foamgrills that are no longer available as they have all crumbled to dust since the 70s. I have some generic foam coming, but it looks like just attaching it to the existing velcro hook won't work be cause the woofer surrounds protrude from their baskets. Does anyone remember how the grills worked on these? Thanks!

Look at the standoff on the back of this cloth replacement grill.

Thank you @dekay . I have been brainstorming about a frame to offset the foam. 👍

I would use something non reflective for the standoff like thick/dense felt, or perhaps cover a more solid frame with wool felt.

Great idea. A felt offset or a wrap. I've been wondering about the foam staying flat, so a frame with wrap might work perfectly. Thank you!
