For a while Merry Sales/Soma was selling a good quality 120mm skewer with an enclosed cam and stainless steel faces. I bought one when I had my Quickbeam (circa 2014) but they seem to have disappeared since then. Probably rarer then hen's teeth but there are a few out there. Other than that, finding a skewer from a good old 120mm road hub might be your best bet.
