machine the cups not the frame though!

Steve P:
Do the cups "tip" as you press them into the frame as this can cause the head tube to flare

If so . . . grind or file the sharp tapered leading edge to help press each cup into the frame squarely  :daumenhoch:

Deutschmeister:
Cheers for all the replies :daumenhoch: I got them in in the end. I measured the old shells with a micrometer and taped the new shells to the chuck of my drill and held sandpaper on them until they came down to the right size ;D went in fine.
