Not sure the threaded headset parts are available to fit that size  :-\

Argos Cycles in Bristol will thread forks for you.  They charge £20 per inch of thread.  I would imagine you can get it done cheaper, but at least it is a base cost.

If you want a fork thread die, look a Billys website and they have them for sale on there.

Here is a link to the dies.

MTB's used to run 1 &1/8th threaded headsets just before threadless came into play but I dont think you will get a bmx quill stem to fit an 1 & 1/18 fork?

You can use reducers and run a 1" threaded Landing Gear set up as shown on this late 90's alloy Quad:-

 

or standing gear as on this:-



but I dont see the point? there are loads of nice clamp on stems and some retro ones to boot, why not run one of those?

This is scooterboys on here (and bloody beautiful imho) with a proper 1 & 1/8th set up:-



 :) DINGO :)

if you did cut a thread  into it, would you then be able to race in a o/s race?

if its one of the limited edition baby blue quad it comes with a hole in the front forks and a rear brake bridge for early type brakes, so maybe you could then!

its got a 1.1/8 head set even if its converted to 1" its not the normal spec on the bike so wouldnt even be considered for old school racing :)
