If I'm remembering correctly, the second cog of a Uniglide 12-21 cassette will have 13 teeth, which means it has a built-in spacer. It's not possible to flip it over to extend its life... the spacer prevents this.
To the OP: another possible source for your cassette is Euro-Asia Imports in Southern California. You'll have to make friends with a bike shop that buys from them (they only sell to established bike shops) and it'll be expensive if they have it.
(I worked at Euro-Asia about 25 years ago. Judging by the pictures on Facebook, not much has changed.)

I wasn't the one suggesting flipping any of the cogs, yet. Sometimes newbies think they need to replace everything when they get a project and since UniGlide cogs don't grow on trees anymore, I think there is value to saying "slow down, see if they still work first" to that tendency. Nothing wrong with having replacement parts on hand, though. I do this.
In my other life as an air-cooled Volkswagen guy, there is some wisdom to hanging on to those old German parts even if they are kind of schmutzy and worn, because there's no guarantee you'll be able to find replacement parts that are any better anymore.

i saved several type 3's from the crusher... in the 80's.... a 1641 powered type 1 i built was the terror of many a V-8 owner... until the type 1 owner smacked a curb sideways while racing a formula Firebird... Danny was leading at the time... a rain-slicked bridge approach got him.... Front Ave., going onto the Morrison Bridge, Portland.... it was a rust-free(even under the battery!) '67 sleeper.... wider, stock-appearing wheels, with stock caps, koni shocks, etc... Danny kept the engine.....

do you keep rotted out/failed rubber steering column couplers around? this is a similar situation... if the chain jumps gears suddenly, rider injury may result... if a bug steering coupler fails, at least the car will still steer.... sloppily, but still steer... i always installed a new coupler.

Wish we'd gotten the Notchback here in the States. Always thought that was a neat refinement of the ACVW concept.

You can use pretty much any shimano cog, uni or hyper (except for the smallest threaded one). Just pick the ones you want and use your old spacers.

Here's one for both of us: A conventional Type III, a Type III Ghia, and a Type II pickup with a Porsche 906 on the back. And a Trabant...

Wow is that a cool shot! I love pretty much all ACVWs, but Type I's are the only ones we've owned. 1967 Beetle and 1974 Thing here, a couple other bugs between '65 and '74 in the family.
