Going by advice here: http://www.bikeforums.net/singlespeed-fixed-gear/686887-omnium-chainring-swap-question.html
I should get some chainring bolts to replace the ones on the omniums. I assume these would do the job?

I.D. Chainring Bolts M8 x 0.75 Double 8.5mm Nuts - £9.99
Buy ID I.D. Stainless Steel Chainring Bolts M8 x 0.75 Single 6.5 mm Nuts - Pack Of 5 from SJS Cycles, fast delivery for the UK - £9.99

Yes, but see if you can find the single female nuts that are knurled. The idea is that the backs will seat themselves so you won't need 2 tools to change your chainring. If they don't seat themselves, just use super glue and set it. You'll be able to remove them later if needed.

The chainring bolts that come stock on Dura Ace, Sugino, and Campy come knurled. I really don't know what SRAM was thinking when they made that crankset.
