I'll measure what length axles we use and update this post.
Be sure to order some split locking collars to keep the axle from sliding slide to side. If the bearings have set screws for that purpose, don't use them, because they'll raise a burr on the axle, making it impossible to take apart or even shift things around later.
Also, buy some lengths of 1/4" square keystock. Rather than using individual keys, which can shift and fall out, use a continuous length of keystock for each item, so it can't shift. Tuck one end of keystock inside the axle bearing, after grinding a small relief in it.
Individual keys can walk out. That's a nuisance if it's the key for one of the wheels or the sprocket hub, but a catastrophe if it's the key for the brake durm.
