Mouser has 880 Ohm 25 Watt chassis mount Dales in stock. Four in series/ parallel will give you 880 Ohms@50Watts.

I used a resistor in a TO-220 case that can be heat sinked to the chassis. I got them at Mouser.

This resistor will get very hot. I'd recommend oversizing it. 4 in a series/parallel combination is a good idea unless you have a large heatsink. It's difficult to find standard axial carbon or metal film resistors at that power level. DON'T use wire wound inductive resistors. Make certain they are a non-inductive type.

Make that 100 watts. Wattage is additive whether in series or parallel.
