I am assuming that I need a 111mm. The distance between the races is slightly wider than my other 68s but narrower than a 70mm

Any idea how to get the correct spindle? other 68ss spindles (non C record)the races are closer together..

please advise!
with the disclaimer that I know barely enough to get by... I do have a Campy axle marked "68-SSb" that had me confused. The wise souls on the CR list informed me that it is a Chorus axle. I'm not sure where I got it, but I don't have a use for it. It's 111mm long. Details in the photo below (it's the lower axle, below a more familiar Campy Record).

PM me if you think you can use it. It's just taking up space in my parts box.
