Normandy hub threading/freewheel question

Hi everyone,

I'd like to replace an early 5 speed Atom freewheel threaded on a Normandy hub that came stock (I think) on my '70 Raleigh Competition.

Could anyone advise me how to determine how the hub is threaded (British, French ISO? ) and/or give recomendations on some good replacements for the freewheel. My LBS suggested a Suntour Pro Compe 5 speed or Ultra 6speed.

Theres one NOS on ebay - for 70$

but Harris sells Suntour 5speed free wheels for 40$

Id like to keep the bike period if I can, but w/o knowing the threading I'm stuck.


Thanks in advance,
RS
