Quick Question: Does a K3 axle fit a K5? I've read about and can't find anything to suggest it doesn't but help from an experienced org member would be nice

Long Back Story: (for those who wonder why)

Time for a chain adjustment and my crash damage is coming back to haunt me yet again

The bike went down on it's left and one of the things that scraped the floor was the axle and bolt for the rear tyre

Here's a some link to the state of it:

Anyways, damaged thread, and it's probably gonna be a case of it comes off, but will be a pain to get back on (if it goes back on at all). To be on the safe side I need a new axle and ImplodedHamster looks to be selling one.
