Try reversing the axle. If that works, either leave as is (no one will notice the LH crank is a few mm out) or take time to look for an axle with that spacing on the drive side. Remember to measure before you install as it will be too late when it is assembeld!!
Good tip and not one I'd heard of before. Thanks! I do need a new axle however as the old one is ever so slightly bent so might just take the scatter gun approach and find lots of them in different sizes.
