For real wizards you can create a decent narrow track three piece rear axle from discarded Ruby bits if you have an early banjo and excess confidence, coupled with decent machining & welding facilities.

I'm my experience the narrow ones are easier to find.
Which makes sense as i believe they made them for a slightly longer time.
I nearly bought one once, for a RN. Then the owner pulled out and chopped it for an ulster rep.
