Nice looking cranks. So is that Silver Streak as in DB branded?
You'll need something like this BB:
There are cheaper generic sets out there. I think Alans had some a while ago

These work well and someone in the UK used to sell them for around £12 IIRC.

Somebody else might remember who that was as I'm struggling...

Yeah, that's them.

Cheaper than I remember as well - which is rare in the wacky world of OSBMX.

You need to find some nice dust covers to go with the cranks as those placker ones are a bit minging. Red or alloy/chrome effect ones would look much better IMO...
