Help - 10mm to 14mm axle converters

Got a slight problem guys...

Just got some lovely 24" Skyways for my new school cruiser build  ;D(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???
