When is 1.5 in not 1.5 in?

I wanted to replace stem on a headshok fork for ine with kess rise. Got a c4 1.5 in which does not fit.

C4 is 38 mm, headshok steerer is 39.4 mm so almost 2 mm too small. Current stem is i believe xc3.

Added photo, the wall is thinner on the one that fits..... and ive given up, im never going to open it out that far.

Anyone come across this?

I dont think im gonna be able to splay it out that far.

Gutted it doesnt fit as been after a c4 for ages.

Re:

I dont have tools to do that, paying someone to do it isnt worth it plus Ihavent compared wall thickness but removing 1 mm could be too much.

Ill just bide my time until the right stem pops up on our fav auction site.
 
Re:

As luck woukd have it, a 100 mm 5 deg headshok stem popped up on ebay. 9 quid later it is mine and fitted on the `dale.

Just need to get a 27.2 mm easton carbon post and its done, cheap chinese one fitted is making creaking noises which is a bit offputting, could be the saddle or i may try greasing it again.
