When the axle is slipped through the bearings there is noticeable play. Once the DS locknut is tightened the play is eliminated. On my wheel the DS locknut tightens against a spacer which slips over the axle and pushes against the bearings inner race.

I posted a detailed account here once on how to use Miche Primato hub hardware on a 900. The Primato uses a 10mm threaded solid axle with "cones" and lock nuts for 15mm ID sealed bearings. It allows you to set the preload and lock the nuts against the cone; doing away with the centre sleeve. It's probably less rigid than the stock track axle.

I have a lathe and may be able to make a replacement if you don't mind a long lead time.
