yep - gotta be done  I think it would be top if someone could do a 'step by step' 

I was gonna ask DiscoStu or Gra The Ruler to go through the steps and take some pics so we can sticky it in the Resto section

[dordymush]

bits are on the way good sir 

[Munnyella]

Good luck, I shall watch with interest, I remember Discostu saying he had to have the crown race (i think) machined down a bit, only a thou or so, Has Keith got a lathe? You may not want to do it with your grinder!!!

I may be able to sort it if you have a prob Mate.

Nice, pm discostu as I saw his 92 Master yesterday running the fork conversion. Looked ace. 

[ED209]

James Voivod posted up a link fo how to do it... and I'm gonna be talking to Gra TheRuler & Stu to make it happen 

[Discostu]

Yes I have just done my 92 master. I used the cups from a new beartrap 2 headset. I then sorted through my bits box and managed to find some old 1"1/8th aheadset parts with bearings and crowns that fitted into the cups without any machining. If you don't have any 1"1/8 spare headsets buy a Savage 1"1/8th from Dave at the rad bmx shop for just under £9. The top bearing and seals and bearing tapered crown will fit without any problems. The bottom bearing race will fit into the cup if it's pressed in place but won't move around freely. I took the bottom cup and bearing down to my local engineering firm and they popped it in the lathe and took a thou off. The bearing spun nice and free. It cost a fiver.
All in all this is not a cheap conversion.
1" Beartrap 2 from eBay around £23-£28 from eBay
Savage 1"1/8th headset from rad bmx shop for £9
Engineering costs to machine the Lower cup £5
All in around £30. Then a different stem and forks.
But it won't come loose like the threaded ones! So well worth it for a rider!
