That would work fine too...Honestly - I almost never use that little gear anyway -

The important thing is the italian threads- english threads don't seem to want to go on my hub (Campy Gran Sport), and I don't want to force it...

Thanks all who have replied - still looking in case someone has one in a box somewhere...Otherwise I'll eventually find one on epay...
