There are two kind to make loudspeaker front covers (grille cloth) for covering the baffle :
1) Stringing material on frame (disadvantage: inteferences through unwanted reflections with too short delay time)
2) Stringing material without frame, but include integrated elastic strap and streamlining at the same time. Such kind of grille is unusual because it has no frame and fits directly onto the
front baffle (for pressing in a circular grooving slot). This avoids the problems of rattling and diffraction which a frame.
Good known examples are follow loudspeakers:
- Mordaunt Short MS3.10 (go to pdf attachement - you will see also the grille cloth)
- Linn Kaber
- Linn Keilidh
- Linn Nexus
Here the instruction from Linn for set and remove the grille:
The KEILIDH grille is unusual in that it has no frame and fits directly onto the
front baffle. This avoids the problems of rattling and diffraction which a
frame can introduce.
To fit the grille, ensure that the shiny side of the material is to the outside.
Find the knotted part of the grille elastic, and locate it in the slot below the
bass driver about a third of the way in from a corner. Pull the grille up
evenly over the baffle. Then find the joint in the rubber ring and locate it in
the slot below the third baffle, about a third of the way in from the bottom cor-
ner and fit the ring. A plastic ruler can be used to encourage the material and
the rubber ring into the slot.
To remove the grille, grip the top right hand corner, pulling it so that the
rubber ring and elastic clear the baffle. Then remove the ring and the grille
cloth.

From acoustical view this is for me the royal way - no carrier frame for the cloth material and thus no inteference problems through rattling and diffraction.
Where I can order such elastic stringing material include integrated elastic strap and rubber ring - both as replacement for the mentioned loudspeaker models and for new projects?
Please note, I don't know the colloquial terms in English for this (because English isn't my native language), and therefore I cannot search by google in a good way.
Thank you very much for your advices and your comprehension;
Here nice photos of the Linn Kaber

Material with integrated elastic strap will not help you, as the material dimensions will be very different to that of your enclosure.
Your are better off looking for thin elastic strap and attaching it to the grill cloth yourself (glue or stitch).

Such work I have never tried before.
But I guess, there are certainly special companies with appropriate offers.
Who knows such companies?
