Here is a link to a website that sells spare parts for the IGH. I also attached a pdf of the parts list for the RX-RK5. I am assuming the parts with work on our RSK-RK5.
He responded and is mailing the new rear axle. The other parts seem undamaged.I tried calling them this morning and the phone is not working. I also sent them an email. Hope they are not another victim of COVID.
That was my plan b. Plan c is a rohloff hahaI'll be interested in the details of your re-assembly and setup. This 3 speed hub looks like the same dimensions and if that's so, it might swap out pretty easily. Any thoughts?
Seems like tuning really takes the initial jolt away which would cause the most damage. I saw wattwagons uses the 3 speed standardYeah, the Rohloff would be the BMW tranny but would I'm sure, still require a light touch. Thanks for blazing this trail ...
The axle length is too short with the 185mm axle. I contact SA but I have a feeling they don't sell spare axles...New axles came in! I ordered a spare.
Not yet but the o.l.d. measurement is about 190mm. I contacted the parts seller and he told me he has the longer axles on order so I can swap the axles I bought for the correct ones.So, what is the correct axel length for the SA on the MD 1000?
I'm finding that might be easier but it's hard to find the rsx-rk5. Any ideas where I can find one?I used to repair my SA drives, but fond that buying new and changing out the guts was a far better solution. YMMV!

Unfortunately that is the incorrect hub. I need 190mm spacingGoogled

I’m sorry...Unfortunately that is the incorrect hub
I’m sorry...
My frame spacing is 190mm so that won't fit. I need an axle much longer than 185mmSturmey Archer RX-RK5 5-Sp Disc Hub 36h - Silver
