Before I get blasted, I've done several hours of web searches and found
a lot of good information like that on Sheldon Brown's web site but
haven't found complete answers to my questions.

I picked up a NOS Shimano Deore FH-M730 130mm OLD 6 speed Uniglide hub.
I want to use it as a 7 speed setup on a retro road bike .
From what I found, 6 speed cassettes are supposed to be 30mm wide and
7mm are 31.5mm wide.
Will a Uniglide 7 speed cassette work on this hub without modification?
If not what would I have to change?
I've found some 7 speed UG cassettes online and I'd like to make sure
that they will fit before I purchase one. I have several MTBs with 7
speed HG cassettes but no UG cassettes to compare with.
I'll go to an HG freehub and cassette if I have to. I want to keep the
130mm OLD so I probably want to stay with a 7 speed HG freehub. Which
ones will fit this hub properly without changing dust caps or seals?
Thanks,
Chas.
