Stoller frame spacers and copies of them are available at most bee
supply stores.  They are strips of galvanised about an inch wide by
15" or so with notches cut out for each frame and little holes for
nails.
 
They are nailed in along the rabbet where the frames rest and forse
the frames to sit in the right spots.  They cost somewhere in the 25
cent range each in quantity.
