I can't find a replacemment freewheel on ebay, with skip-teeth, so I'm considering alternatives.
These include machining off the worn teeth and using a readily available skip-tooth sprocket to make a new "tooth ring", which could be brazed on to the old freewheel.
Just a talking point really - as I'm still hoping to find a suitable skip-tooth freewheel from the distant past, which would have been nickel-plated !
