Got them out, got some French pedals for donor spindles, made chasers, fixed that, got some French Campy spindles for this, then made chasers out of the standard Campy spindles since I find Campy's to be very tight in some cranks.

BB was the same, crossthreaded, very bunged up with neither side original Stronglight threading in all the way, chased and fixed that too so all good, still French and will live on.
