To add: You had to undo a hollow bolt with a 10mm allen wrench to remove the freehub body, right? It's the lack of that bolt attachment, plus this protuberance beyond the splined section on the hub, that makes early Uniglide hubs hard to convert to HG:

You just made my day! Yes I had to use the 10mm allen wrench and no my hub does not have this protuberance. So now I'm looking at Hyperglide freebhubs and of course have new questions.
-Looks like a 7 speed Shimano hyperglide freehub is the closest thing available to what I have. Can I use this to replace the 6 speed uniglide freehub without changing axle length and wheel dish?
-Can my 6 speed 600 Arabesque shifter and derailleur work okay with a 7 speed cassette?
Thanks for all the help.
