Framebuilding is rarely plug and play, there is a fair amount of metalworking that takes place to make the pieces fit together in a pleasing way. In your case, I would move the stay back some, so its more in line with the rear of the dropout, and reshape the inside curve of the dropout to better match the stay.

Having used these dropouts on several frames, I would advise you to purchase the optional titanium bolt kit. The steel bolts that come with it make it difficult to get enough torque on them without rounding the hex on the head. It takes a lot of torque to prevent the drive side rocker from slipping forward under load. The Ti bolts have a stronger hex and an external 12 point socket head.
