I heard from Bret (Bret's Old Radios). He said any wheat cloth he had was long gone and he only had a very small amount of the #17 cloth left, so I just bought it.

Arran, I considered using screws and nuts, but as Greg said, I will likely never need to remove the scale again. A can of compressed air will blow away any accumulated dust.

Regarding the quality of RD's dial scales, they have come a long way since they bought out the Rock-Sea Enterprises dial scale business. Back then the dial scales were printed on paper and laminated. (Remember those light yellow dial scales?) Now, they are silkscreened on translucent phenolic, as were the originals. Their dial scales are MUCH better quality now.
