I called customer service since some of my treeloks snapped, but they no longer have this part. If anyone can help, I need 4 of them. Thanks.

    The Parts Express version will work but they aren't perfect. "Grill Guides" is what they call them I think.

    Good Question.....The monitor 10's that I have use a smaller "treelock" than the generic kind that you can get at Parts Express, etc. My SDA's and RTA-12's use the "std" size that's available from PE, Madisound, etc.

    I would venture a guess that you would have to enlarge the baffle hole for the treelock when using modern replacements. The replacement mating "cup" for the grill may be too deep for the M10 grill thickness. You can also entertain not using the mating cup with the larger replacement treelocks (ie the head of the treelock just goes into a hole in the baffle (no cup).

    There are two sizes of grill guides available from PE.

    The PE kind work fine but you do have to use the included "mounting cup" to get them to snap in properly. It isn't too deep for the grill and simply requires some careful drilling.

    If the treelock position is non-load bearing, as in a side grill fastener, just press the PE part into place and don't worry about the cup. It's will at least keep it from going side to side.

    How many do you need? Sorry, it's late. If you can't find them I have a few extras.
