The mojo corners are often disappointing. Other than that I have good luck with them and they always make it right when they screw up. I don't get a lot of tolex and cloth from them anymore. Their cabs are nothing special. Standard builds with mediocre wild

They are finished in either chrome or nickel. Marshall Nylon corners are made to fit a 3/4" radius, but the back edges are not rounded. I think you'll want to break the corner on edges that are not rounded over, maybe chamfer ~1/16".
Martin,
I'm putting together a cabinet hardware order. I'm finding Fender 2-screw corners. None say lipped and I'm not 100% sure what that means. Can you expand on that?

Thanks,
Don

Here's a pic of the three types. Of the two-screw corners shown, the 1651 with the wrap-around is what I mean by "lipped."
