The correct speaker is still available but in NOS form is expensive. If you use the stock radio be sure that the ohms are correct on the speaker or you will mess up the radio. I have found a source for the speakers called electro-tech. They refurbish them for around $50 and worth it if you want stock stuff.
Metal Plumber's tape is always useful when installing car radios, and would make a good substitute for the support strap.
