Hey thanks I was thinking along that line because apparently they don't make a longer skewer bolt. Where you able to reuse the QR by drilling a hole in the rod?

Though my idea would work, for the price, I think i would go your idea! However, I would insist on stainless if possible!
I am under the assumption those won't work being they are much thinner than I am looking for. Like the skewer on my bike which is long enough would fit inside of the one I need.

Can you post a photo to help describe your situation? Do you have a QR thru-axle?
It was VERY easy to replace the axle (that is what I call it). Simply unthread the QR and spring loaded nut on the other side, and thread in the new one! I actually ordered one on Amazon for about 9 bucks (I actually got 5 for $9), and trimmed it to proper length. I took my stock axle to Ace, where they have thread gauges mounted on the wall in the nut and bold section, and determined the diameter and pitch. I bought one from Ace., but I don't think it was stainless. I ride on the beach a lot, and rust resistance is important to me. I just looked back on my Amazon order, and I bought this part, which worked perfectly, and is M5 thread size and 0.8 thread pitch. It came quickly! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M2ZC2FK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The rod is threaded end to end, and the original is only threaded on the ends, but that makes no difference!

I hope it works for you! I am not certain why the threaded rod will not allow QR? I simply threaded the original QR mechanism directly onto the threaded rod, and my QR works great! I needed the extra length for my new Bolton front end, which was a tad wider than stock, because I had to mount the fender supports somewhere and the Bolton did not have a mounting spot, so I just put them on the axle!. Very simple job!
Thanks, I appreciate it but we are talking two different things here.
