I've got one of the SRAM/Rocky mounts ones that I'll never use - email me if you'd like to buy it?

Not sure on the correct name but I know Rose bikes sell individual ones.

You can just bodge one with a block of wood with a hole through the middle and an old QR though.

meant for roof bars but you could bodge it and also use the rear wheel clamp: http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/velomann-roof-carrier-attachment/aid:23796

You could also go for the Thule 952 (£70) which takes two bikes or just buy a single 593 adapter for £20 (for adding a 3rd bike) and bodge it into your van.

Inside of fork measurements or outer hub measurement anyone?
Rear is 135mm and the front is?

100mm

cheap as chips and you can make any type of axle fitting (15, 20 etc).

You can make a wheel mount too by getting a strip of wood or aluminium twice as thick as a fork drop out and cutting a U slot down the top to slide one end of the QR into and then tighten. Stops em banging around and bending a rotor/spokes.

Or if the van is ply lined then make a key hole shape in the wall to secure the wheel too.
