Without a pic of the setup, I'm not sure I get the problem, but if this is any help, the Huret Jubilees I've seen come with a plastic (teflon ?) washe r which enables rotation. Nick March Agen 47000 Lot et Garone France

I have a bit of a mystery on my hands, one I'd like to solve.
I have a Huret Jubilee rear derailleur with what appears to be the original hanger bolt for a Campagnolo drop-out hanger. I also have the special pur pose-made "claw"--the stop that fits over the bolt, with adjusting screw, t o position the derailleur properly.
The problem is, the hanger bolt appears to have too many threads on it. Wh en I tighten down on the thing it tightens all the way down, rendering the derailleur body immobile. I know this is not how it's supposed to work...i t's supposed to work like a Campagnolo or Suntour..the derailleur is suppos ed to rotate around the bolt, because the threads end and the bolt stops ju st short of the derailleur body, leaving a bit of room for the derailleur t o move. >>
