Default Power to manual brake conversion

Hi, I am planning to convert to manaul brakes, remove the booster etc. I heard that there is a plate you can buy that will cover the holes where the booster was and it provides the two studs to mount the master cylinder...anyone doen this? or know where I can get the plate from?

I think a plate like that would be easy to make.

4"x4" steel plate, four holes for backwards or forwards studs, center hole 2" in diameter, and two studs facing out to mount the master. Make sure you use the upper hole on the brake pedal.
