You talkin' about me??!
Well, at least I'm not 'grizzled'……..yet!
Anyway, the idea of trying to find an older road spindle with extended length on the drive side is a decent suggestion, but of course you'd have to make sure that it was 70mm Italian and tapered for your crank. I have quite a few old 68mm road spindles like that, some of which are Campy, but you can easily find those spindles in 70mm on Ebay in 1mm increments from 111mm on up.
