I'm not sure if they swap with any other hub makes , if not I'd have one made  ;)

Can you not dismantle one of the so we can see what the axle looks like?  There a couple of sellers on eBay that have replacement axle kits for sale, might be able to match one up if we can see what one looks like  :daumenhoch:

I would say your best bet would be to get them made.... ;)

Local engineering firm will do it.... :daumenhoch:

Ah, bit of a problem that!

Maybe something like this:

or have a look at what Gini at Rini Enterprises has:

I think Dans Comp also do some generic ones:
