jono you can get a freecoaster or freewwheel kit can't remember which it's called for about £20-30 for a NOS item. they do pop up on ebay UK but usually on USA ebay.

think some just take part of the guts out and pack with washers but only heard about it and not seen it.

for £30 i know which way i'd go

i doubt it unless it was originally a coaster hub as it's basically like a car drum brake inside the hub
