I removed the grill in order to access the speedometer. Since the speedo is working perfectly after 300 miles, I feel that its safe to replace the speaker grill.

The cardboard/paper material fell apart when I removed the grill. What material do you guys use to replace the original stuff? It probably doesn't matter since I don't have a radio but figured I'd ask.

Next problem: When removing the grill, one of the screw/studs on the bottom chrome strip spun in place. It looks like it is a captive bolt but I can't get the nut off so it's still hanging there.

What would you suggest to remove this screw/bolt/stud without damaging the chrome strip. When re-assembling, should I epoxy them in place or something?
