Older BB's used bolts bolts that screwed into the spindle or nuts that screwed onto a threaded stud at the end of the spindle. The only thing that matters is that both are JIS and that the dimensions are proper. Modern cranksets typically use a shorter BB spindle, but various lengths are available.
