Re:
All the ones I've found of those brands are either attached with an adapter claw (like I got duh) or are designed to work with the unthreaded hanger.
Although I just read that Huret made some for the threaded version (Campag?).
Does anyone know of specific models (not just Huret) that might work?

I thought I had a 1978 Peugeot. Then I thought I had a 1988 Peugeot. Now I'm not so sure it's a Peugeot at all.
When i got it none of the components matched. It had a 90s Dura Ace rear mech installed so think the hanger might have been tapped at a later stage... I've just sold the DA mech in order to put something more authentic in, and the bargain Simplex I got has the claw malarkey. I didn't know about claws until yesterday. So I thought about taking the claw off but realised the pivot bolt would be too narrow for the hanger. I only found out about French style unthreaded hangers this morning.
Round and round and round I go.

Entry level Motobecane; definitely claw.
Image off of ebay, claws though should be reasonably inexpensive. I'd think some co-ops or lbs's might have them lying around.
I thought most of the problems with French "retro-fitting" measurements was over by the late seventies, surely, this problem can be overcome without much trouble.

Don't understand - I don't want one with a claw, that's the point. I have a mech with a claw that I didn't realise was the wrong thing till the last couple of days.

So being unable to date it I was trying to kit it out as something pre 1987 to qualify for l'Eroica. But as time wears on I'm thinking that's impossible.

Have you tried unbolting the 'claw' and seeing if the mech fits directly to the frame?
