I called the most helpful LBS in this area and they don't mess with FSA cranks so he was unsure which ones I needed.
Any ideas which direction to go from here? Any idea which washer and spacer I would need from the FSA website?
One thought for you to get expert advice is to PM
#campag4life . He is one of the most knowledgeable gurus re: such things. Unfortunately I have not seen any trace of him on this forum for a few months. I can only hope he is just taking a short break from the rest of us and will be back soon. In any case he may respond to a PM.
If there is anything I can still offer you of any value, it may be this. I fully recognize this may be advice you don't want to hear, but at this point if I were you, I would punt. Sell the Ultegra BB you bought and buy the full Mega Exo set of cups. I now realize that after all is said and done the bearing cartridge replacement may be more trouble than it is worth. Just go with the like-branded OEM replacement of the whole BB. You should get most of your money back for the Ultegra.
