French threaded single speed freewheel

I’m doing a single speed conversion of an old 1970’s Peugeot. Anyone know where I can find a french threaded single speed freewheel for an old (Normandy Maillard) hub?

See this old thread from 2007 >>> https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespe...-so-where.html

Instead of trying to find some ancient vintage French threaded freewheel, a better choice is to get a new set of 27" track wheels like these that use modern English freewheel threading >>> https://www.velomine.com/index.php?m...oducts_id=3062

I did this when I converted an early 1970s French Mercier 100.
