Look for a long 68mm JIS spindle and be sure to account for any offset. There are a lot of spindles made for "square-profile" (not lo-profile) cranks like the AT triple which will have similar dimensions.

A 127.5mm Shimano cartridge bb will be better in every way and will require no maintenance.

If you checked the chainring-to-chainstay clearance before disassembly then you'll know whether a shorter spindle length can be used to improve the chainline, assuming you don't have a preference for using the small-to-small sprocket combinations.
