Here are some updates:
The lids and bases are clamped together to round the corners:
And here rounded edges:
The edges of the enclosures are now also rounded:

The upper cover edges have already been processed with a profile cutter:
Unfortunately, one corner didn't come out completely clean:
But anyway, if you move away, you don't see it anymore.
Here is a first impression of what the enclosures with the lids will look like:

Pics will follow once the grilles have been made and fitted.
There 'ya go!
Retro job is completed.
Hello Cressy Snr,
Where did you buy these grilles?
Or are they homemade? Is there a drawing for it? What material are they made of?

My son made them out of MDF with a router, then I sprayed them with metallic bronze paint.
Grille material is Fender guitar amp weave.
The radius is 6mm larger than the outer diameter of the driver.

I can't supply pictures as I'm currently lecturing in Barrow, but a traditional favourite is to cut a ring of thin cork, velvet / synthetic velvet or similar and use that, with or without a template. We did the latter at MA-Sota on the Viotti Ones and nobody ever complained about their appearance as far as I know. To each their own of course. A more expensive option is to create a template & get a tame local foundry to machine or cast some bronze / aluminium rings to fit over the top. Likely a trifle expensive for a 12in though.

Did you also use the gaskets that came with the driver? I find them very thick. The driver sticks out 12mm with them.
