How to work out what axle I need

I have a late '80s wide flange Campag hub wheel that I would like to fit to a newish frame but the axle is too short.
The new frame measures 131mm inside and 141mm outside and the axle is about 10mm too short.
I tried my LBS but they said there are too many variables and I'd be better off getting a new wheel - kinda defeats the point! So, are there all sorts of different threads I need to think about or will a 'standard' 10mm hollow/QR compatible axle be alright?
 
You need a Campag. The thread is a gnats different if you try to screw the cones onto Shimano et al.

I had some and sold some on here, I'll check later whether I have any left

Re. the solid axle option ... doh! Well spotted and thank you :)
Have gone for the 141mm Wheels one and will see what next when I rebuild the wheel. Hopefully plain sailing! 🤞
