I think the OP has a 1971 Raleigh Grand Prix which would have 120mm
spacing unless he opened it up to 126mm. This could limit his choices in
freewheels.

Re-spacing to 126mm is easy enough, BUT, having owned a 1970 Raleigh
Grand Prix (bought new in 1970), I think I'd sooner throw it out a
third floor window (late at night, so no one gets hurt, of course).
