If I'm right, the 73mm stays the same (part of the frame) and you have to get a BB made for that. But the spindle length may change according to the crankset's offset. Usually crank specs mention recommended spindle length someplace.

Power Spline... Are the arms' spindle holes still in good condition? I have to admit that the PS cranks I've had to deal with have been a disappointment in sourcing parts. Most have had rounded out crank arm/spindle holes. It's a shame that an orphan has survived in the market place for so long. Andy.
