Do these Foxes have clearence for around 2.4" tyres by default? If yes, I'll have to keep my eyes open...
Good luck with the project OP, will monitor this thread for sure. :)

No way 2.4" would fit.
2.2" knobby Maxxis tyres (Ikon) have like ±1mm clearance with the chainstays. I'm currently running 2.15" slicks (Big Apple) and they have a healthy amount of clearance. 2.2" slicks will probably also fit, but from here on out you'll be approaching the upper limit.

Fox bro! Some inspiration perhaps from my edition.
Are 26" rim brake wheels hard to come by in the UK? They're plentiful in the Netherlands. Regarding tyres, you should have ample choice. I have found 2.15" slicks is probably the sweet spot in terms of clearance (with mud guards), currently running Schwalbe Big Apples.
The rack I'm using is a Pelago Commuter, which is affordable and works well. Though the fork crown mount tends to interfere with the straddle cable, be aware.
Curious to see what you'll do with the frame!
