@Doug64 The Peugeot has 135mm dropout and my plan is that the Panasonic (PT-4500 will as well).
Tandems East (https://tandemseast.com/) should have some 40 hole hubs.
I have a White Industries 40 hole hub. It was spaced for the 140 OLD of my tandem but I wanted to rebuild it for a single with a 135 OLD. An email to White Industries netted me new, easily swapped, axle ends for 135 and 145 OLD. I swapped in the 135 end and re-laced the hub to a 40 hole Velocity Major Tom tubular rim. Should I want to put the wheel back in the tandem, I can easily put the 140 axle end back on and re-dish the wheel.
