Subject: [CR]Stronglight 93 BB specs needed

I have a nice Stonglight 93 crankset without a bb. I'm looking to use it with a sealed bearing unit for a rainy weather steed. What length spindle do I need? I see that the stock Stronglight units appear to have a 118 spindle, but with a 5mm offset on the crank side. Will a 123-5mm modern BB work with this crank? I'm willing to accept some additional gappage on the left crank arm. Are the tapers compatible with the Shimano family of spindles, or the Campy style?

Thanks in advance.
