Anyone know where I can get a croozer hitch that attaches to a thru axle (instead of QR). I have been looking at the Robert axle project in the USA however were talking about 80 squid delivered. Any cheaper UK options out there?

Worth a shot. Did you just drill a larger hole in the hitch? If so does the maxle get enough thread purchase as the hitch would leave it proud?

yeah it still worked fine, leaves a couple of mm short at the other end

the problem was screwing in the maxle as my dropouts are quite chunky

the hitch still works fine on a normal QR so nothing to loose

Same here, just drilled mine out, works a treat! My maxle was on the limit if the thread so I got a solid bolt in for trailer duty and leave the 10mn hex key in the trailer.
