I guess the listing's title got your attention as intended! But look to me like car audio tweeters, certainly nothing to do with 805s.
Shame, I just used a few dabs of superglue to do a stronger job than those tabs.
Usually the magnet assembly is just glued together. The rear and / or top plate coming unglued and pinning the VC is actually a "somewhat" common thing for rough handled drivers. I've personally seen it more than 5 times but for me it was always "dropped" woofers.
EDIT: Also, I "think" the magnet assemblies are assembled BEFORE the magnets are magnetized. I don't know that they can be glued back together after they have the strong side force pulling it off center.

This is how mine were remade:
And this is what I hope to eventually replace them with:
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

BTW. I sent Troy a PM but there is a way to mount the tweeters in most of the outboard tweeters by B & W by drilling a hole (in the correct place)in the tweeter base through the cabinet, removing the screw that holds the tweeter in the pod and running a screw through the cabinet directly to the tweeter in the pod and using the threads in the tweeter to hold the pod on tightly. The Matrix 805s took a 4mm bolt/screw and a 35mm length with a small washer fit perfectly. Both of Troy's tweeters seemed to work fine, I used the one without a dent and it seems to balance well with the other side. Need to figure out how to refinish these after filling the dents and corner hashes.
