Default Brake Hats for Original Style Suspensions

I need some help on brakes. Let's stick to the front for now...

As many of you know, I am building a 289 Leaf Spring Chassis with original style suspension. I am using AMP original style uprights and AMP pin drive hubs. When I last talked to George Petrus about steering arms, he recommended the competition ones and said to use Wilwood calipers, 3.5" mounting lug (superlites), 11.75 x .81 rotor. That is all well and good and I can find those parts, what I am having trouble finding is a rotor hat that will work. Funny thing is, when I asked George about them, he said to send him the specs and he would have to mock one up. Do I need to go with a custom hat or is there a source that would have them? I've seen that setup on the Kirkham cars and my guess is there are more than a few running a similar style setup.

Any help or guidance would be mucho appreciated.
