Default Replacement Tweeter for Older Monitor Audio 303

Hello all,

I wrote a while back asking how to repair a dented tweeter on my Monitor Audio 303's. I tried one of the suggestions (packing tape) and succeeded in pulling out the dent, but the gold coating on the dome cracked is looks like it is going to chip off eventually.

It doesn't sound different than the other speaker's tweeter (in other words: it sounds great IMO), but for peace of mind I am thinking I need to replace both tweeters.

Unfortunately MA doesn't carry replacement parts for these speakers any more.

So, I have two questions:

1) Does anyone know where I can locate a match?

2) Can anyone suggest a compatible replacement from the modern MA line?

Here is a picture of the pre-repair/damaged tweeter:
