John, to suggest an answer to your question --- What I have done in the past is to initially mount the crankset up with what ever BB I happen to have at hand, then check the chainline and add or subtract the distance it is off from my desired CL. Assuming a symmetrical BB spindle, the needed width = +/- value x 2 + the test spindle width. (As a rough reference the distance between cogs on a cassette is close to 4mm).
