The 9 1/2" radius is pretty standard across all the potential replacement cones. What changes is the cone height, and that's a figure that's not alway shown on the specs when you are looking for one.
It's worth measuring the height of the cone you have taken out!
There are a couple of UK reso guitar makers/suppliers who may have replacement cones. The Michael Messer forum would be the place to find them. I've not been involved for years so I'm not up to date with who is doing what now in the UK.
You should be able to get hold of a "Continental" cone. They are hand spun in China. The tooling came from Germany in the 90s - hence the Continental name. Knowing the Chinese reso makers, I expect that the same guy who was taught to spin the cones in the 90s is still doing it and supplying the whole industry!
