I am restoring a Beosystem 2500 and its speakers. I am removing the rotted, old foam but I don't know what to replace it with.

Can I buy a replacement kit from B&O direct? Or do I need to buy something else (and where)?

Also looking for one of these black washers that go between the speakers bracket and the main unit... I have 4 screws but only 3 washers. Where can I get a spare? I *could* also 3D print a replacement of similar diameter and thickness but I'd rather get an original if I can.

The BS2500 does not need the sticky black foam. It even sounds better without the foam... something more clear. The system even stays cooler, the ventilation is a little bit better.

You can remove it without replacement.
