We can get you what you need. There are three measurements needed to get the correct axle. 1. distance from hub face to hub face 2. distance from center of spring seat to center spring seat 3. diameter of axle tube.
These will get us the right size axle. I recommend also taking apart the front axle and getting the bearing and seal numbers off of them. This will allow me to not only get you the right size axle but also match the bearings to the front axle. This means if something fails you will only need one of each of the bearings to replace it. I find it is good to have the same parts on both axles for ease of maintenance as well.
If you rbearings don't have part number check out the attached photo of the measurements I will need to figure out what you have.
