Fitting a Hatta Headset - Dipsticks guide required

This is for Tange but will give you the idea

That MX2 one looks identical!!

So, here's what I reckon I need to do, based on loosely fitting it together.

1) Bash a cup into the top and bottom of the headstock (items 1 & 2 above, left to right)
2) Slip item 6 (left to right) over the fork tube and tap it down flush with the bottom (there is a little ridge on the bottom of the fork, slightly wider by a couple of thou)
3) Sit a bearing race onto the fork and loose fit the fork
4) Fit another bearing race into the top cup
5) Screw down item 5 onto the threaded part of the top tube
6) Slip the washer ring over the thread (item 7)
7) Screw down the top nut which is item 8

One question though, the washer bit (item 7) has a little bit jutting inside that prevents it going over the thread. Is this supposed to screw down?

If anything seems wrong with the above, can somebody let me know!

Cheers

Just seen the slot in to forks for that washer bit to locate in!!

Seems to fit together fine now. Only worry is smacking that bit onto the top of the fork. Seems to need a hell of a whack - is that normal?

the fork race is best to get some tubing thats fits over the threaded fork bit ,and sits on top of the race ,,,then tw4t the hell out of the tube

have seen some people say soak it in boiling water for five minutes to expand it a bit

mark 2:
I thought your number 5 bit was the top part as you said it was Hatta and it look like there could have been one of the drilled holes visible on the side...my mistake. Yes you have to really batter the fork crown on usually. They're impossible to file down on the inside though to make bigger , they're made of really tough steel. Ive got a bit of tube that just fits over the fork and sits on top of fork crown. At least you can give that a really good whack to avoid messing up and hitting the fork legs.


** you beat me to it with the "tube" reply** ;)
