I don't believe The Jubilee used the same mounting system as most other Huret RD's. The Duopar and most others used a tabbed washer between the RD body and the DO. There were three different tabbed washers for Huret, Campy and Simplex DO's each with the tab/tabs placed differently.

But Jubilee, I believe had different bodies for each DO type, with the tab for the stop actually incorporated into the body. Thus the "patte Italienne" model had a body designed to match up with the placement of the RD stop on a Campy DO. The other strange thing about the Jubilee, and maybe other Huret RD's, is it usually came with a nut that threaded onto the pivot bolt from inside the DO. This was somewhat like the nut used by Simplex RD's. But in the case of Simplex the nut was used because the RD was primarily designed for Simplex DO's, even though Simplex RD's work fine on Campy and Huret DO's as well. Simplex DO's were unthreaded, so the nut inside the DO was the only way to secure the pivot bolt to the DO. But I'm pretty sure I've seen Jubilees with the nut, even on threaded Huret and Campy DO's. Anyone know the purpose of this?
