I got the cranks off a local pro, he's helping me getting hold of the Danish distribution company. If that doesn't pan out I will give glue a go :-)
I'll post some photos of dropouts when I am back on my laptop. But basicly I brazed a guide on to the sliders and stainless shims onto the dropouts. Got better friction that way and removed stress from the threads of the bolts on to the sliders.
Next time around I will probably go for some paragon machineworks instead. Focussing on becoming a better brazer/welder instead of trying to make dropouts that really should be machined on a CNC miller.

Man I hate FSA cranks. Cheese is often stronger.
I've shoved araldite around the threaded inset for a customer once (being careful not to get any onto the threads). It worked really well. Last I heard it was still holding firm a year or so later (it was only meant to be a temporary solution).
Bike looks amazing btw. I could do with something like that in my life. How did you solve the sliding dropout issue?
