Convert Huret hanger to Campagnolo?
I recall a fairly recent thread--it may have been on the For Sale thread--in which someone posted a photo of a tabbed/notched washer that was supposedly designed to allow a Campy-type rear derailleur to fit a Huret rear dropout. I haven't been able to find the thread again. Is there such a conversion piece? How well do they work? Might it be possible to fabricate one? (Here's where the photo would help.) Or is there maybe a source of these parts out there somewhere? I'm trying to help out a friend who has an older Motobecane frame with a Huret-style hanger.

Tugrul, you will be hearing from my lawyer momentarily in regard to your unauthorized use of my photo.
There are two types of those adapters. One sets the derailleur in a fixed position (see above photo) and the other has a B-screw. I recently sold the one above and I still have one with B-screw. It's a rare piece, though, so I wouldn't sell it for cheap.
Here is the thread Michael Angelo created to show photos of the version with the B-screw.

Not sure about the one with the B-screw is. Is its purpose to provide adjustment in the case of a derailleur that lacks its own B-screw? It appears to me that an integral derailleur-mounted B-screw would work properly in conjunction with the screwless adapter, if that makes sense.
Anyway, thanks again.

Or you can do this...
Braze on some brass, fill down to the desired shape. Powdercoat and procede to install non huret derailleur.
