To be fair on that spindle, it was most likely original to the bike and it probably endured legs way stronger than mine on a regular basis for most of its life from 1979. But considering the grain structure on the cracked part and that it hardly had any wear on the bearing surfaces, it was most likely way too hard and brittle.
Campy stuff on Ebay is a bit out of my budget sadly.

You could use the VO JIS BB and just use it on the Campy arms. Its been done in the past without issue... You just have to remember to always use the JIS spindle on them going forward and check and watch them for the first year for any looseness.
I think the taper being 100% correct is long gone with these cranks being mounted on that soviet spindle. I found something cheaper than velo orange with french thread, but still JIS. As i read from Sheldon Brown on ISO vs JIS tapers, i needed to compensate abit on the taper length difference, so i ordered a 107mm one, lets hope it fits and i get a good chainline, it was abit off before anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions.
