Help - 10mm to 14mm axle converters

[Nosnod]

Got a slight problem guys...

Just got some lovely 24" Skyways for my new school cruiser build  (Thanks Neil - Region11). However they obviously have 10mm axles and my frame & forks have 14mm dropouts. Been out to the local bike shops and they appear to do screw on adaptors but I don't think they will fit the Skyway axle with the axle being the odd 24 tpi size . I thought you would possibly be able to get some kind of top hat washer that would go over the 10mm axle and slot into the 14mm dropout and I have also heard that there are converters available in the form of a chain tensioner as well for the rears?? Has anyone got anything that will do the trick or point me in the right direction where to get some from???

Billy's seem to have most the converters you're ever going to need.  Top hat variety.
