Advent AS2 questions

[Caboverbob]

So I scored two separate pairs of AS2's today, all mechanically sound. I have a couple of questions :

1. One pair has the original connetion bar that connects the separate (bi-amp) inputs into a singular input. The other pair, they are missing, previous owner has jumper wires in place. Are these available from Advent or am I better off making my own ?

2. These things are set up for spikes, looks to be M6 thread. Looking for opinions on using spikes on carpeted slab floor.

3. Grill cloth needs replaced due to discoloration, is this pretty straightforward using available cloth ? Pros/cons to glue vs double sided tape ?

TIA

Since no one else has offered anything, being Advents I doubt they're something special/rare, or expensive.
Now watch that comment be wrong.
But if correct, most any electrically safe and sound way of bridging the posts will work and shouldn't hurt any resale value.
I always joked that the pair of bridging wires on my Snells (and yes they were that way from the factory) looked like straightened out paper clips.
I suppose you could try the usual suspects like parts-express or ebay for replacement straps. I doubt crossover straps are uniform so you'd need to know the length, spacing and shape/bends and then match. Or maybe you'll get lucky and someone will list a pair of Advent AS2 crossover straps on ebay.

Spikes, try them and see if you hear a difference.

Grille cloth, glue and/or staples. With a caveat, particle board sometimes splits using staples. JMO double back sticky tape loses it's sticky. Over time.
On second thought, the sticky tape I've seen lose its sticky had one side exposed to the air...it's a long story. Seems like carpets stay in place, maybe that's because both sides of the tape are stuck to something.

The Advent AS2 is a good sounding speaker for it's size. Nice score, I hope you got everything figured out Bob.
