Does anyone know what freehub body is compatible with this hub?
The wheels are unbranded. They were an eBay “bargain”, but it my enthusiasm I missed that they didn’t come with a free-hub body.
I can’t find any that appear to screw on to the hub in this way.
Any advice very welcome. Thanks.

That takes a freewheel, it’s what came before freehub/cassette
I’d recommend following a guide to determine thread pitch n all that. First photo is blurry but it definitely looks like the guiding thread could be stripped/flattened.
any ol freewheel should work
1.37 x 24 (iso) freewheel is what you’re after
not a freehub.
any 5,6,7,8 speed freewheel will work, the thread pitch is one of the few things in the cycling world that is “universal”
buy a freewheel with as many gears as your shifter..

The hub in the photo is not designed to take a freehub. It’s a freewheel hub, it will only accept a freewheel. So you can’t install a cassette on that wheel.
