Thanks for the like but I did my search... I think it's pricy (maybe I'm cheap ). The other thing is that they charge a fortune to deliver to Canada (Quebec), a lot more than what I am used to pay to send used parts...
@RobbieTunes, PM if you have something. I also have parts that I could trade, let me know what you are looking for.

@fraba, I may have one, but it's in my barn, and I won't be there until the 23rd. If you're interested, please send me an old-fashioned email to tom@noglider.com

I've got this one in pretty good shape. PM sent. I might have the bolts that fit, too, but I'll have to look some more if you need those.

Aerogut, If Fraba declines, I could use the bolts, hopefully with the washers and caps. Thanks

I also have a used 118.5 BB-5500 if you decide you want to give that a try, though I'm pretty sure you concluded correctly that it's too long. By my measurements, the DS is 6 mm longer and the NDS 3 mm longer, so it's a big movement of your crank.

I'm guessing you want the bolts that have the metal caps, not this kind with the rubber gasket? I think I have a match to this rubber one, but I'm not sure about the metal cap ones. I'll have to look around this weekend and get back to you. Fraba also found a BB in Canada with much less expensive shipping, so the 109.5 BB is available too if you want it.
