Just picked up a rack mount tube power amp and want some opinions

I want to have it sitting on top of my 2x15 cab so I'm wondering if this rack case in the second image would provide adequate protection to the tubes with just the rubber feet. Is a shock mount case necessary or maybe better shock absorbing feet?

Help identifying this cab I just bought

Just picked this up and it seems to look different inside from all the other Sunn 2x15s I see online, it only has a small rectangle port. The speakers don't work so I'll be replacing them, but they are JBL D-130Fs. Could this have been shoddily modified or maybe converted from a 2x12? The internal braces for the baffle have a lot of screws placed near the edges that have caused the wood to split in some spots, hard to see in these pics but some are really bad. Should I remove the screws and place them more in the center of the braces? I also wonder if it needs some kind of brace between the baffle and back panel. I'd appreciate any tips on getting this thing fixed up, plan to use this for guitar.

Installing speakers with 8 mounting holes into a combo that uses only 4 on the current speakers

I want to install eminence speakers into my combo amp, but there's only 4 bolts for each speaker in the baffle for the stock celestion speakers. The grille cloth isn't removable so my only option is to screw in more from the inside, is it fine to just use wood screws, and which kind are best? The amp is a Laney TT100, the stock speakers are lightweight G12 Century vintage, and I want to replace them with Eminence swamp thangs for more volume/headroom. I would appreciate any tips or advice for how to approach this.
