Hello... I want to thank everyone for the help with specs for my crank install.

Question: I installed my primo cranks but when I was putting in the last bolt (the one that screws directly into the spindle), I noticed it was black (in color). My bike is all chrome (ELF double cross) and the cranks are polished also. When I screwed in the black bolt (allen bolt that goes into the spindle), it looks really tacky. It makes the cranks look cheap.

Do you guys have any suggestions? The bolt is not metal (I think it's a synthetic/plastic material). This is for a set of primo powerbites. Can I buy a metal bolt? Thanks in advance.

yes primo owerbites normaly use steel bolts, the fact your don't is quite unusual, just go on one of the mailorder and order a set simple as that.
