WTB: vintage tandem rear QR skewer 145
Hello, I'm trying to track down a vintage extra long rear QR skewer. Hoping for campagnolo, I know they made one in the 90s at least with maybe 140mm+ spacing. But others along the lines of American Classic, Suntour etc would be acceptable. For use with 145 spaced hub. Thanks!

I would try calling Santana. They stock quite a few parts.

You may have to lower your sights in the short term, get what you need for the short term and wait for the real deal to turn up which may not be likely IMO.
Chances are there are very few still around and not sure about these but if they were not robust enough they may not have gone very far or be many survivors.
Modern tandems were borne out of the shortcomings of the old ones, Santana, Burley, CoMotion, Rodreguez, etc all built success on building tandems that held up like the ones before didn't.
