Default Chain tensioner that doubles as non-turn washers for Alfine

Hello everyone,

I was hoping someone would be able to help me out. I just had a
Alfine custom wheel built by Harris to go on my Bianchi MUSS. I
absolutely love this setup and would recommend it to anyone. The only
thing that I don't like is that I can't seem to get the right chain
tension. I miss my Surly tuggnuts and the ability to not only provide
perfect chain tension but ensure that the axle is perfectly straight
in the dropouts. The non-turn washers prevent me from using these.

This got me thinking...would it be possible to combine a non-turn
washer and chain tensioner? I can't see why this wouldn't be possible
and would provide the best of both worlds. It would basically be a
standard horizontal dropout chain tensioner, with non-turn tabs and
the correct female shape to receive the flattened Alfine axle. I am
considering having custom tensioners milled but am unsure how much
that would cost and figured I would check if anyone else has come
across a solution first....

Any ideas? I think Surly could modify their tuggnuts very easily to
achieve this....Come on Surly, make it happen!

Thanks in advance for your help.
