73 mm bottom bracket, 127.5 square taper spindle

I'm fixing up on old mtb that has a 73 mm bottom bracket; the old spindle is shot and was 127.5 mm in length. I can't find a 73 mm BB with a 127.5 mm spindle. The longest I can find is 122 mm in length which may be OK.

What are my options other than to find a replacement spindle? I'll look around for one but those are getting harder to find.

Edit: My bad looks like sunlite makes one that will do the job, https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUNLITE-SL-5...item25a64f99fe

I should have looked on eBay first.
