I think you would be better off contacting Buchanan spoke and rim (check resources icon).
They have Excel undrilled rims. You tell them what your application is and they will drill the
rims to fit. Their prices are reasonable and it's better than fighting with crazy spoke angles.

I got an Excel pre-drilled for my 1979 CR250R front hub via a local wheel builder. The only color available was silver, but the polished version rather than the more correct silver paint finish.
