83mm octalink BB availability

[Mongooser]

so ive made a big mistake when getting my new build

 

The frame has a 83mm BB yet morewoods site said 73-83mm so i assumed it would fit

Of course my 73mm  bb doesn't. I cant find a 83mm sram howitzer BB anywhere online second hand or new

 

does anyone perhaps know someone who will have a second hand one or where i could get one new for a decent price ?  otherwise im willing to buy 83m shimano spindle cranks since i have a 83mm shimano bb

not that i can find that either

 

any help would be appreciated thanks

Octalink is a Shimano standard, if you've got a Truvativ crankset you're after either a Howitzer or a Gigapipe ISIS.

 

Post a pic of the old one and I'll be able to tell you what's what.
