The UG cassette cogs are among the very few that can be reversed without shifting problems.

Alternately, 13-30t and 13-34t, 7-speed HG cassettes are still available. You'd only need a new derailer and longer chain, and your crankset would likely be fine as-is. A 13t threaded cog would replace the splined cog of the new cassette, with almost no chance of chain contacting frame even using the 6sp-spaced version.
GonzoBob is right, the biggest tab on each cog needs to be filed a little after the cogs are separated, but I've also seen the whole cassette filed out at once (held in a vise, using a bigger file).
