So are you of the opinion that a straight swap for a 7-speed Hyperglide cassette body is probably the way to go on this one? Having checked a couple of videos on Tube of You I reckon I can pull it off (well, unscrew it, but you know what I mean)

I'm translating cassette body direct from the German 'Kassettenkörper', would 'freehub body' be more accurate?
yes, it will work, if you don't have one of those uniglide hub shells that won't work , as mentioned on sheldon's site. you might have to remove the hub axle to be certain. it's not very apparent from the outside, AFAIK.

and don't sweat the terminology mein freund, it's fine.
