How do you repair a speaker's grill post ?

When you remove the grill from the speaker, there are chrome posts the grill attaches to.



The inside of the post appears to be made of plastic or ceramic with a chrome coating.

When a post breaks off, what type of adhesive is recommended to reattach it ?

    As tight as those grills go on I am not sure if any type of glue would hold it back on. I would just put the grill back on without it and, leave it on. Otherwise you may try gorilla glue or similar. I successfully repaired a post on a JBL center with the stuff, but they were not near as tight as the Polks.

Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

    Again with the "Answered" c r a p.

    You can't fix a broken post, only replace it.
