Not an ET expert at all but a Tange/Tioga Beartrap would probably be OK.  I'm sure that someone once posted up a magazine review of the bike and that details what all the components were, might be worth a search

According to the list of the original spec it was a Hatta.

Cheers guys..much appreciated

Although it says Hatta on the original spec it's not like a Hatta your likely to see come up for sale. I would perhaps use something like a Tange or Tioga Beartrap instead.

So would the hatta headset's up for sale now fit it,like the one's on Ebay???

The hatta's mx10 steel and mx 100 alloy will fit, but the likely original spec is the very rare MXII. Here's a pic, this is what Bodamus is on about - these are rare as hens teeth!!

MMMmmm Looks lovely,and it would go with the Colour scheme i'm doing 

thanks for info Frosty

I got the hatta mx 2 in for my et, but it's lavender.  might get it rechromed at some point and use it, but for now I'm planning on using a Tange mx2, it looks pretty much the same as the hatta one.  The other hatta ones are quite different though.
