Surely someone with a lathe can turn up a suitable shaft? I have made loads of bike frames over the years and never used the bikes swingarm spindle, I had a shaft machined then it was tapped each end or you could just have a flat machined one end so a spaniard fits on then tap the other so a bolt holds the whole plot together.
Because 12milly bolts in 14milly holes is just bad, no very bad engineering practise!
You will never set the car up with that much play in the rear suspension, it will move all over the place.
