i can't answer your question but you may want to ask in the C&V forum as well. I'm sure you can find a replacement but you'll need to have measurements for the shell width and figure out the type of threading it has both of which someone in C&V are likely to know. When you say it wouldn't screw in to the desired amount, i'm not sure if you mean that you had a wrong size bottom bracket or that there was a problem with the threads.
