Are you measring 135 on the inside of the dropouts? That dimension is tripping me out. Wasn't seen too much back in the 70s, maybe on tandems.

Otherwise get yourself a rattail file and get to work on those dropouts. Only file one side of the dropouts so the axle stays square, ie only file the leading edge of the fork's dropouts, don't touch the top or back side of dropout. On the back just file the bottoms of the dropouts. This ensures that your axles fit against factory finished faces.
