But a Campy Gran Sport spindle from that period will work with those cups. They aren't that difficult to find, not are they particularly expensive. For example, go to this URL and then scroll down to "Spindles For Campy Thin Cups"
      http://www.bicycleclassics.com/bottom.html As an example, my old Peugeot uses Campy GS spindle with a Stronglight fixed cup and a TA adjustable cup.
