BMX freewheels?
I've got a mid 80s Panasonic Sport 1000. I want to convert to SS. Freewheel out back, not a cassette. I can just use a thread on BMX freewheel, yes?
If this is the case, anyone have one cheap/free?

Yes, you should be able to just thread one on. The chainline might need adjusting, depending on your particular setup.
Freewheels are one of the cheapest components in existence, you can get new dicta or acs freewheels for under $10.

I also have 2 ACS freewheels, and neither are very smooth or round..resulting in inconstant chain tension.
