Paul,
 
Why not use 48mm plastic end spacers; if they are used overlapped you can=
 get
11 frames into the super to get the bees started on drawing comb,  then =
take out
3 frames  move all the spacers to the frame ends and you get the remainin=
g 8
evenly spaced.  I use different coloured spacers so I can distinguish unw=
ired [for
cut-comb] from wired foundation frames.
