    If you want the easy answers...go to stewmac.com and look at the resonator guitar section for the screened sound hole covers. You could also search ebay for them connected with resonator kits. If you don't need the screen, you can look for grommets at a hardware store. For the tailpieces, stewmac has tenor banjo tailpieces that can work as well as mandolin tailpieces (I've used one on a 4-string tenor). Or...you could just use a block at the end of your box with string holes drilled in it.
