Preventing table leaf warping

I have an antique dining room table, quarter cut oak, 6 leafs were
thrown out years ago. I would like to make some new oak leafs and I want
them to last, stay straight, so on. The pull-out track when table is
separated is four short pieces. Round table 4 feet diameter. I was
intending on using 4 - 3/4" x 12" boards and resessing a 'T' metal strip
down the length with some oak cross pieces. Will this work? OR
possibly metal 90 deg. brackets on the sides.
