I feel your pain. I originally bought my 1970 Peugeot UO-8 as a bare frame and custom built it for my wife, using an aftermarket fork with a shorter-than-stock rake. She has evidently never been bothered by the resulting toe-to-tire overlap, but our elder son complained about it when he started using the bike as a high school commuter. I replaced the 170mm cranks w/ 165s and the 27" front wheel w/ a 700C, which helped.

Sorry. I have a pair of UO8 forks from the 70s. Unlikely to work.
+1. Find an English threaded chrome fork. Make sure it is for 700c wheels. You may have to change out the headset.

That's an '84-is to '88-ish model that probably came with a British threaded fork. Because it was chrome it's more than likely 700c.
On occasion they come up on Ebay but a nice Tange fork will get the job done.

+1 Based on pic this bike likely takes a 700c basic chrome fork so one of the Tange basic chromo or champion replacements forks should work. If you want an acutual Pug fork it will be pretty hard to find a better stocked bike coop is a good place to look for something like this.
