WTB: Ofmega English BB spindle
Looking for a spindle for an Ofmega Mistral crankset, English thread. Would be marked Ofmega 68C I believe. The one I am replacing is 115.5mm long, asymetric. Let me know what you might have and thanks!
UPDATE: I have a spindle that will work.

I suspect a Campagnolo Gran Sport spindle would work. Boulder Bicycles has some at a very decent price:
Campagnolo BB spindle 112mm for thin Cup NOS early record, gran sport, and more pre-78 alloy

Thanks Chas and John. The one you picture Chas is exactly what I need... same bike even 
John, I have a thin cup Record spindle which looks close, but doesn't seat as far into the crank arms. I show about 5.93mm from the end of the spindle to the crank bolt washer seat on the Campy, vs. 5.23mm on the Ofmega spindle. Trying to decide if that is a problem or not. Everything else looks great; chainline, adj. cup fit, etc.

As long as the arm doesn't "bottom out" on the flats or the spindle extend flush to the base of the extractor hole, it should be ok.

John,
Thanks. The fit is definitely like drawing B, so should be good. I'm going to close this thread. Thank you for the input! I was worried since the gap between the spindle end and the washer face of the crank arm had increased 0.7mm approx.
