Early clip type headset wanted (now got one)

[Jonny69]

Found one - thanks for looking.

I'm looking for a 1930s clip type headset. The thread on the top measures about 25mm and the steerer tube is near enough 25.4mm, so I think it might be a slightly worn 1" thread rather than the smaller 31/32" which would be closer to 24.6mm.

Edit: ok, I think this is a standard British clip headset which is 31/32" - thanks to keithglos!

I actually only need the clip with its bolt and the top locknut. The cups seem to be integral to the headtube on this frame and the crown race is still on the fork, but I'll be happy to take a whole headset or individual parts. Crusty chrome is fine so long as the race surface is in useable condition.

Cheers.

Think I've confirmed that it is in fact a standard 31/32" that I need.

I contacted the seller of those two that just went on eBay and it looks like he might have a couple more. Fingers crossed...
