Updated Fix for Beovox S-series Grill Cover Pegs
I really liked the posting a while back by Andy T (Jandyt) on his Beovox S120.2 refurbish project. I have a pair of S55 and S120.2 Beovox speakers that like most sets, have grill covers with some broken pegs. Today I decided to apply Andy's grill peg fix to my S55's. The first thing I ran into was finding the similar wall plug (called a wall screw in the US). I finally found one at Lowes but it was in a set of several sizes so I had to by the whole set. It was just as well since I wasn't 100% sure which size I would need. It turned out to be the largest size - #14. As I started to work on the first grill peg mount I discovered a different way of applying the fix. I am documenting it here.
To start with, I used a super thin trim saw I own to remove the broken grill peg - (you will probably notice that I skipped Andy's step where he cleaned the grill....I'll have to come back and do that)

The 10mm cut piece of #14 wall plug is then screwed on to the hex bolt. That whole assembly is screwed into the hole I drilled where the original grill plug was. I started the the new grill plug by hand, then used the hex wrench to tighten...just snug not too tight.
Good solid mecanical work, done the way I like it, compliments.
Maybe fix the bolt to the frame with a little epoxy, on the other hand, if it holds without epoxi, it is easier to repair if it comes loose.

BTW, we call it a M4 x 16 Allen screw.

Re: Updated Fix for Beovox S-series Grill Cover Pegs
Yeah, I didn't want to make the attachment permanent yet. A further improvement might involve redoing the grill cloths. The reason I say that is because with with grill cloth removed I believe I would be able to see the bolt on the other side. That being the case, it might be an improvement on the fix to install a nut for the bolt from the grill cloth side. However, the fit is really tight right now and it is removable so I kind of like that option. I am wondering if the the plastic wall peg part should be painted charcoal gray or black?

Re: Updated Fix for Beovox S-series Grill Cover Pegs
The pegs are not seen either so not worth painting.
Nice refurbishment of your Beovox 3702 speakers...cool grill covers. I've never heard that model. Are they similar to the S45.2 speakers? I have to say I really like your work on the cabinet refinishing. Both on these speakers and on Beomaster 4000.

Similar but older, 3 way as the 45-2 but a bigger bass driver I think
