What exactly was the issue with fork and dropouts? Often the term dropouts is used for the rear. Though the rear DOs might be different depths it doesn't matter on that bike because one side always has length taken up with the RD claw. Which is to say, you have to center the rear wheel "manually", but I guess you knew that. The front dropouts, i.e. the fork, is usually made to much better precision precisely because you can't do any adjustment, either manually of with set screws.
jim if you read through the thread you will see what the issue with the fork was,

here is what i bought
Panaracer Pasela 27x1 1 8 Black Tan Steel Bead | eBay
