Uninsulated spade terminals are another way to go as they do with electric cookers.
The car speaker size should fit just fine.

Theirs a thought I used to use them on the early H@H amplifiers I used to make in my old subcontract days

...not forgetting to use silicone or PTFE/Teflon insulated wire as normal insulation simply melts or perishes with time, i.e. high temperature wire...

I have some wire salvaged from an old cooker from the scrap heap of my allotment which I hope will suffice .

Ideal. That wire is about the only thing worth salvaging from an old cooker - it's wonderful stuff, typically high-temperature silicone (known as "HR" - "Heat Resistant" - wire) good to about 200 degrees C - normally get a couple of metres from each cooker.

That's ok then I also remove the cables from irons as there is always a need for cable even if it gets used for tying garden canes up

Mains leads from dumped fridges are also useful for small projects. I even took a thermostat from one a few days ago to replace a broken one.

You might need to step up to silver solder if the tag is chunky enough.
