Ahoy !

Sorry, folks - again, mentally muddled on this.

For: Campag Road, double, Italian

Have: Bot Brkt = 113 non-rifled; I assume pre-CPSC (78?). (A diamond 3 - 1973 ? - double crank appears to fit just fine but "ain't" mine).

Have: Double cranks = circled dates (1980's ?) that bottoms out on the spindle and the ring nearly hits the stay, and this merely loose fit, not bolted into position).

Have: Predicament, puzzlement, conundrum.

In order to use the "circled date" (1980's?) cranks with those non-rifled cups - Q1?-Can I merely install a different spindle and use the cups from the 113 ? Q2? - What is the correct spindle length ? (I anticipate answers such as: You need XX length spindle from non-rifled. And, You need YY length spindle from rifled cups as this will fit you non-rifled cups. Is this correct: The correct length spindle I need is 114.5 spindle from a non-rifled cups.

Thanks.

And, again, I apologise for not being able to keep this straight.
