Default Warfedale speaker repair ?

I have a pair of Warfedale speakers that have worked great for 30+ years. I
love 'em !

However, one of the woofers has developed cracks/holes in the rubber
surround. I can see that there are plenty of (none uk) companies offering
generic repair kits but nothing that seems to exactly fit these units. Also,
most of them are offering foam surrounds, not rubber. The cones are 247 mm
dia and the frames are 302 mm. I don't know the model number of these units.
They were being sold as kits by Warfedale around 1975. Each kit contained 3
drivers (woofer, mid-range, tweeter) as well as crossover units and plans
for the enclosures.

Questions:

Any UK companies offering repair kits ?
Pros and cons of replacing the rubber surrounds with foam surrounds ?

Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.
