I like that idea. Years ago (many years ago) I put a Stronglight 93 on my '70 Super Course. The standard threads on the cups that came with the crank were wrong, so I used the originals. They worked fine.

Finding a square taper spindle for the crank you end up with could be difficult. If eBay and your local shop can't help, give these guys a try--http://www.renehersebicycles.com/. Finding old NOS is their specialty.
