If you can find a 40H, 130 mm OLD 7-speed freehub, you can narrow it to 126 mm by removing a 4 mm NDS spacer, cutting the axle shorter and then lace it to your current rim. An 8/9/10-speed 130 mm freehub can also work but the wider freehub body will increase the wheel dish, probably too much.

Another possibility is use a 130 mm, 40H 8/9/10-speed freehub and cold set your frame to 130 mm. If your current drive train is 7-speed, you can use a 7-speed cassette with a 4.5 mm spacer on the 8/9/10-speed freehub body.
