Stronglight spindle for the 104 crank is 118mm. Look at my avatar picture. It's a 104 on my '78 Raleigh Pro.

Problem I ran into: I couldn't locate English threaded Stronglight cups. And Campy BB spindles were too short. So - could I mate my Campy cups to my spindle? Nope - the Campy cups (along with a Sakae and something else I tried) were too thick and my left cup stuck out too far. So I located some thin Victory cups and all was well. Now my problem may be your solution. I was working with a 68mm shell. Kurt indicates you have a 71mm shell. Campy Record/ rifled-thick cups plus a 118mm Stronglight spindle may be your answer.

And you can preassemble these mixes off the bike and use calipers to measure the resulting BB external widths.
