I've used an Enfield hub to fit to girder forks for a similar project.
Its a 6 & 1/2 inches drum, but who is going to notice. And quite slim.
And you can even buy them new these days, for not so many rupees, delivered to your door.
For a few extra, they can supply a girder fork style axle. !
And if this doesn't suit, you can always turn down the stock supplied plain axle to fit.
Getting the brake attached may involve some thinking though.
