Sturmey Archer stuff pertaining to the British-made four and five speed hubs are getting very rare. The longer 6 1/4” axles and their specific indicators have become as rare as Hen’s teeth. The shifters too, are disappearing. These parts are not interchangeable between even similar models. The Sprinter Five speed control has a different amount of cable pull from the modern five speed shifters, even though they are both single cable actuated hubs. Of course, anyone looking for Stronglight 122mm BCD chain rings (or heaven forbid, Nervar 128 mm BCD chain rings) knows that future proofing these remains a challenge. John Vara’s Red Clover Components does make triplizers and a facsimile of the semi legendary 39 tooth 122 mm BCD chain ring for Stronglight 93 or 105, but the other offerings are dissimilar in profile and in limited supply.
