The Evoc bags look good but bit pricey as im not gong to be flying that often, ive got a cheap crc one which im planning on padding out a bit. Ill see if i can find some metal tube then!

I used a length of studding with 4 nuts to hold the dropouts in the right alignment

New forks and frames come with spacers for the same reason so maybe ask your LBS if they have any in the bin you can have?

No old hubs unfortunately, tried lbs but they only had fork spacers for qr forks, suggested cutting down some thick cardboard tube. Ive found some chipboard with a hole cut through a i can use on the back though.
