GT3 top mounts with H&R coilovers

I've mounted a set of H&R monotube coilovers on my 986S, these coilovers can be used with the stock front top mount. The spring lands right into the stock, rubber-lined spring seat. It all works rather well.

Now, I'd like to get some extra camber as I track the car every now and then. I found a reasonably priced 996.343.181.9R GT3/Cup front top mounts that can be rotated for an extra degree of neg camber.

Now to my challenge: in the GT3, these are used with a spring perch/top hat that channels the force to the monoball whereas in other 986/996's the spring has a ruber lined spring seat in the top mount. Some after market top mounts allow for re-use of the original spring seat which is not how the GT3 part is designed.

I'm assuming that I need something like this:
MODE spring perch or perhaps the original GT3 part. I don't know what the inner diameter of the spring is - original and H&R should be the same since the same spring seat can be used.

Is there someone here who has done this or could help me in finding the right part(s)?
