Well I was wrong (now imagine that), the Ofmega/Avocet and Stronglight 107 triples do in fact take a standard 6mm bolt. So while my money spent on the TA Tevano bolts was wasted, it looks like with the proper length 6 mm s ocket head or button head bolts and the right size spacer, one can improv ise hardware to attach Avocet or Stroglight 107 triple inner rings.
If anyone wants a set of bolts for a Tevano triple, I've got some. Act ually, it looks to me like the Tevano arms VeloOrange is currently selling are drilled for a third ring, so there may actually be someone who can use these bolts.

Just received 4 sets of TA Tevano triple inner chainring bolts from a Frenc h eBay seller. I took a chance these would fit Ofmega and Stronglight 10 7 triples, but I was wrong. The Tevano bolts are just slightly too small a diameter for either Ofmega/Avocet or Stronglight 107. I tried standar d 5m x .8 pitch bolts which are also slightlt too small, so probably the Te vano inner used a 5 mm bolt but the Ofmega and Stronglight 107 were slightl y larger, but only slightly, not 16 mm or even 15.5 mm. Is it possible t he Ofmega and Stronglight 107 inner bolts were English? That would be we ird, but then we've all seen many weird things before.
