Yeah mine! It's back in my shed now. You'd be welcome to borrow it Spence. Not sure when I'll be out your way next though (and I'll need in in a few days to press in some bottom bracket bearings).

Spencer. If u rest head tube square on a lump of soft wood, rest top cup on headtube, balance another piece of wood on top and tap it in, flip over and repeat.
Or
Go to b&q or similar, buy a length of stud, 2 nuts and 4 washers bigger than your headset. 2 washers either side and tighten the nuts, simplesss.
