T47 for Bombtrack hook EXT?
recently ordered a new Bombtrack Hook 2019 EXT frameset.
BB shell is T47 with an 86,5mm width. I want to use shimano cranks (24mm) sub compact. Originally bike is spec’d in full form as a 1x system.
Help required:
T47 come with outboard or inboard bearing cups. Which is the best compatible brand / part No to go with standard shimano cranks - my concern is the width vs normal 68/73mm? Basically is the spindle Long enough to clear the shell and bb. My view is this is why internal cups are preferred. I have however been told that external cups for shimano cranks?
Finding it a bit confusing to nail this one.
Thanks in advance.

Chris King makes a T47 bottom bracket to fit Shimano 24 mm crank spindles. here is one source and a description: https://www.backcountry.com/chris-ki...t=tsid:1042790 cid:213415837 agid:13362825397 tid

They aren't cheap and i don't know if you can get one in Singapore but they do exist.
Edit: Wheels Manufacturing also offers them in 24 mm spindle form at a significantly better price, at least here in the US. https://wheelsmfg.com/bottom-brackets/t47.html

Thanks for all the guidance.
I have managed to source ( in Australia) the Wheels Manufacturing one. Hopefully all will be good once I start the build in January.
