BB spindle length for SR double crank

I've got an SR double crankset from a Univega Nuovo Sport, but the bottom bracket got put a different bike that I sold and I never measured the spindle. I need to buy a new Italian bottom bracket for the Juventus, and my budget isn't in the mood for guessing or trial and error with it. I'm thinking I need a 122...can anyone confirm this, or tell me if I am wrong?

122m seems long for a double. My c.1980 Stronglight 106 double uses an 118mm Italian, and a c.1986 Shimano 600 crank used a 119mm Italian.

Okay...so I found a spindle that works with the cranks, although they are spaced out a little farther than is ideal. It is 128mm, and it's the old assymetical kind. New Shimano cartridges are symmetrical, right? What size do I need to get?
