Need help finding choke

Hello. I'm rebuilding a Leak ST50 amp, and want to modify the power supply to use a choke instead of a 100R resistor in the B+.

This is after a GZ34 rectifier. I'm also adding capacitance: the original configuration is 16uf-100R-16uf; I'm going to use a Blackgate WKZ 47uf x 2.

The problem I have is finding a choke/filter that will fit UNDER the amp - it needs to be 1.5 inches or less tall, and as small as possible in general. I dont want to change the look of the amp by installing it on top if I can avoid it.

Besides 100R or less, it also needs to be handle the 400+v after the GZ34. 250-300ma or more would be good too.

All I've found so far are various Hammonds, but the 400V versions are too tall. Are there non-frame types that can be used as well?

Would appreciate any help locating this. Thanks, Samir.
