Hi David
Are you referring the the speaker cone when you say baffle? If so...the cone must be of the same depth as the original, as well as the same size, else it will not work properly (been there, done that).
If you get a speaker cone of the proper depth...use a small part of the old cone surrounding the voice coil to attach the new cone to. Use fabric glue, let it sit overnight, DO NOT rush the job. And don't forget to place three shims, evenly spaced, between the voice coil and the air gap in the field "pot." (And remove the shims ONCE THE GLUE HAS COMPLETELY DRIED on the cone - don't get any glue in the air gap or on the shims!)
As for cloth covered wires with color tracers, good luck. I'm not aware of anyone reproducing these, with the possible exception of outfits which reproduce vintage wire for automotive restorations.
