My ofmega spindle seemed to have the same taper (attempted to measure with calipers) as a late Campagnolo centaur bottom bracket. English bottom brackets seem impossible to find, but the Italian spindle, the correct English campy cups, and a modern bb spacer work nicely. Let me know if you need more info.
