Jason,
If you don't want that speaker, I'll take it and pay the shipping. Early in my ownership of '98C, a mouse ate the cone completely out of mine, and I threw mine away before I knew it was repairable. I had to glue a hardwood block to the back of an old stereo speaker, then use wood screws through the original mounting holes in the roof to hold the speaker, just to have a place to mount the overhead instrument lights.

My speaker frame was not riveted such as yours is and is only held into place with the speaker. I've always thought this is the way it was installed from the factory.
I think someone riveted yours. I could be wrong. What have others found?

Speakers can be "re-coned" and coils can also be rewound. Last time I had one done locally here in Austin it cost me $35, and they used marine-grade poly for the cone...never to rot again.
