Optimus LX-8 (need help)

So I grabbed some LX-8's off CL for really cheap 2 years ago. They are missing the top (whatever was mounted to them. Im assuming tweeters?). So they are both just the one 8" sub. They were in perfect condition. I just noticed the other day that one of them has some new holes in one of the flat dust caps. I think my toddler got to it and poked the holes.

Are these replaceable like normal caps? Or do I need to replace the whole speaker now? Ive tried searching for replacements, but all I can find are the foam edge replacements. Any help would be appreciated!

If you view the following AK thread (scroll down for pics) you can see what the LX-8 speakers should look like. Hate to say it, but if all that is left are the woofer drivers, you've purchased incomplete speakers that wont sound worth a darn. As for the repair it's not something I've shopped for much but I think some kits come with new dust caps. Given the typical age of these speakers you might have to refoam anyway, if it's even worth the trouble by now.
