Was thinking of using this instead: https://www.retro-gression.com/colle...bottom-bracket or this https://www.retro-gression.com/colle...bottom-bracket

Reason being is I don't want to mess with the adjustable cups anymore. Also, the crank barely clears the chainstay (Backs of the spider have been filed down some already) so I figure the 109mm spindle length can't hurt. I don't really care if it gives me a 43mm chainline.

Is there any reason not to give this a go? Hopefully Scrod can chime in since I'm sure he has lot of experience with this . Figure if it doesn't work out I can always purchase Sugino 75 arms but those aren't cheap and it's my around town bike so less bling the better.
You'll be fine using a Sugino 75 or Tange 109mm ISO BB. A chainline being "off" by 1mm isn't anything to lose a wink of sleep over.
