The Alatet is a nice set, but yeah, yours has seen some action. Also maybe look at T.D.C?
I got the spindle specs from
https://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/restoration/bottom-bracket-lengths/
Sutherland's v6
.
First says 129mm, Sutherland's says 127mm.
edit: My micrometer says 128.5mm.


I'm aware TDC produced Alatet clones.
The closest I think was "Continental S", but I'm not sure of the full range.
They are more common on Ebay thought, I'll do some more reasearch.


In fact I should probably just look in Sutherland's

Edit: The Continental S has the Alatet toothed ring, the Continental J doesn't.
