Grill Cloth The 2nd. attempt.

I was able to get the Grill Cloth on with satisfactory results this 2nd. attempt. I had in mind an elaborate arrangement of small clamps that would tension the grill cloth in about 30 areas on each side. Each clamp would grip the grill cloth then a wire would connect the clamp to a board with screw adjusters to tension each clamp separately. Luckily just using some 3M super 77 spray adhesive on the front of the frame was all I needed. It was tacky enough to allow me to get the fabric lines somewhat straight but still allowed some movement If I needed to pull in a certain area. Whew!
The feet for the head and the bottom cabinet are on order so this pic is just using some other amp feet I had laying around. The Middle cabinet is pretty much all done except for wiring the speaker to the jack plates.

This is a real optical illusion because the two speaker cabs are exactly the same size. The grill cloth and piping really makes the top one seem taller.

Here's the Celestion Green Back (Heritage G12H)
