Or can I swap out a spindle from another (spare) wheel , are the bearings universal or are they unique to acs ??

Anybody ?
Don't want to resort to modifying the rear dropout ?
Acs wheel looks spanking in front

HI if they're old school ACS mags then there's a good chance the 14mm axle you see is only axle converters screwed on the end of a 10mm axle - got any pics you can post up?

I have taken apart the donor axle and removed loose balls and dust seals from acs , bearing cups look identical
I have ordered new bearings in race and will see if they all fit together

It appears everything fits together lovely with donor axle and new bearings in race , dollop of grease etc ,and I reused dust seals altho looking at acs website I m sure u can buy new , happy days , it now fits rear dropout 👊
