Hello Edward,
When I put posts on the frame I brazed for David I simply welded shurt
lengths of tubing parallel to the chainstays and brazed the studs to that.
I used the same tubing as the stays and this set the distance about
right as I recall.
Look in the photo section I think there are pictures there of this. That
is where I got the method.
All the best with your project. I really enjoy riding mine
