Yes -- presuming your hub has ENGLISH threads (1.37x24) then you can use a BMX single-speed freewheel.
If you want to use a TRACK cog, then you will want to change to a solid axle. You can secure the cog using a BB lockring.
You will want to center the hub & redish the rim.

If you want to use a track cog, buy a track hub. Loctite, a bb lockring and rotafixing can't substitute a reverse threaded lockring. It is very unsafe to go fixed on a freewheel thread.
And yes you can use a single freewheel. IIRC Italian threading is so close to English that it will work with either, but you risk damaging Italian threads with an English freewheel over time.

I would really hate to mess these wheels up. Sounds like I need to get single speed specific hubs,thanks for the info.
