to save hammering the cups in damaging things ,get large nut bolt and washers they will do both aplications
cheep and easy just align cups and tighten. hope this helps.

They are quite useful, but I've now decided that the easiest way is with a vice (don't forget the soft jaws to prevent marking your beautiful NOS headset)

always found using a vice with wooden plates was the most effective way. equal pressure applied to the cups so they go in nice n square with a little grease to help them on their way.
