What is the actual size of the die? Could I pick one up from my local engineering suppliers?

GavinDavis:
So....just a quick update if anyone can shed some light for me....

Ive ground the top lip of an old 1" top nut and the bloody thing will wind down the whole length of the fork thread??

The top nut on my beartrap 2 headset will wind down all the way to the lip yet when I attempt to screw the first ring with the teeth on.....it locjs solid when the top of the fork thread is in line with the top thread of the ring? If that makes sense?

Is there anything I can do or is it a tapered thread on the headset? Im seriously thinking about grinding a couple of the top threads out in the hope it will go over? I dont get it?

GavinDavis:
Well....i neatly ground out a couple of the threads from inside the top of the ring......and guess what....

The stupid thing still locks solid and wont go over the forks?  I give up with it now.....its getting slung in the drawer  :LolLolLolLol:

I can only presume that its either faulty or is a different thread to my forks? But yet the top nut is fine?....i don't know lol

not johndub71:
smash it lol
