You might also have difficulty getting the crank spindle to fit the HTII BB as although both nominally 24mm, the FSA spindle is marginally bigger than Shimano's. I'd be interested to know how you get on with the Ultegra BB as they're cheaper and easier to get hold of than BB8681s.
Yeah, but he doesn't need the while thing, just the bearings. Those are easy to find.
