Should be no problem with 7, since the last 2 cogs are a screw-on pair, right?

I checked one out today (narrow 6-speeder) as I was about to install it to the Confente seller's (Joe Englert's) new (traded it to him yesterday, for the '67 Paramount) Masi GC, but the spacing was a tad wider than the Suntour Ultra-6 it was to replace.

As with the typically-narrow Helicomatic 6-speeders, the add-on 6-7 pair is intended to work that way for any 7-speed application.
