In North America these are the people to talk to:

There is also Speakerbits in Melbourne, Australia and of course Lockwood Audio, London for everybody anywhere.

Bear in mind that changing the cones from HPD to Monitor Golds means an increase in efficiency by around 3dB (you might need to modify the xover slightly!) and a loss of 10Hz or so in bass extension.
Lots of useful info can be found here:

PS: Lockwood have now got HE conversions for HPDs. They replace the rotting foam with equally soft but non-rotting folded paper!
