Strictly speaking what he needs is a new 14t cog, not the whole freewheel. For many brands, cogs aren't EASILY avalable, so it amounts to the same thing — replace the whole freewheel. Almost anything can be found if you're patient and know where to look, so I wouldn't rule out finding a new top-gear cog. I probably have some, I have many brands to cannibalize for parts, but I'm not a dealer, my junk pile is for working on my own bikes. But try Freewheel Spa maybe? That's BF's own pastorbobnlnh , highly regarded, the best!
