Subject: [CR]Old Peugeot questions, parts requests

I've got an old Peugeot PX-10 project. I'm slowly acquiring roughly period-correct parts to put it back on the road. It will be a rough approximation of its original state because I am no kauzo.

I have what I believe to be the original seatpost. You can see it in this pic:

Here are some pics of the bike before it was parted out:

With a dial caliper I measure the seatpost to be 1.033", or 26.2mm. I measure the ID of the seat tube at its widest (perpendicular to the frame's centerline) to be 1.039", or 26.4mm. What size seatpost do I need? (It's not in Sheldon's seatpost size db.) I think the answer is 26.2mm. If so, anyone have one of those pretty Simplex seatposts they'd sell, in that size?

Also, I am looking for a headbadge. You can see what it looked like here:

This is what I've got:

And while I'm begging, I need a pair of roughly period-correct:

wheels Ideale saddle period-correct english-thread pedals (have 49D cranks with english threads) long (12-13cm) french stem - does such a thing exist?

Would also - in my dreams - like a pair of lefol fenders.
