Bigfrawg:

nos stands for new old stock me thinks. :coolsmiley:

HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) I`d say that`s a 1" headset.However BMX  specific 1" headsets sometimes differ(larger) to roadbike 1" headsets.so maybe that`s the reason for the less than snug cup fit?

This is what I bought:

Okay, it may not be top quality, but I just need a quick fix to get it up and running first and I'll swap out parts as they annoy me/fail later.

Went to the nearest bike shop today to try and suss it out. Fat lot of help they were with their MTBs.

Cups aren't just a little loose, they rattle around, so I'm now sure they're the wrong size. Going to visit the other bike shops tomorrow, with luck I'll find a cheap 1 1/8" to try. I'll measure up first and take the forks with me for comparison. There are BMX kids in the city, so someone must be selling them parts.

S1:
What was wrong with the old headset? If it was just that it was rusty, try leaving it for a day or so in vinegar, give 'em a wire brushing and see how they come out.

fugazi:
I'm pretty sure that's a late 90's Haro Zippo, a lot of the parts on it are Haro, chainring, forks, stem etc, is it chrome underneath the paint as all those old prolite frames were? Either way both those frames used a 1" headtube.

I had a kid knock on my door a few years back asking if I could weld up his frame for him, it was the same frame and had snapped both top tubes and a huge crack in the downtube :shocked:
