Yup, sorta figured I'd have to do this if I went with new skewers. I haven't checked, but I'm sure Velo Orange probably has something - I'm just not seeing anything on Amazon that I can simply throw in my basket with some other bits (one stop shopping).
For the price, I might as well just pick up some of the skewers I linked earlier. Good reviews, so they should hold tight.

With my luck they will probably require some odd ball threads. Oh well, I figured out where to get all of the 3.5mm allen wrenches I need (Delta Brakes), I'm sure I can get any die that I don't already have.

At least the blue looks like it will be close match to the blue on the M23!
