[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 124049, member: 456"] OK Update. I have just fitted the sample quad ring to the steering head on the ex-Cecil Mills bike. This is the same type of steering head as the one I tested it out on and It is exactly the same JE Steering head. It is clear that the quad ring is more compressed than the head lug I measured and tried it out on. It still turns freely but before I waste anyone's time and money are any of you going to fit one fairly soon? I would rather have wasted my money rather than anyone else's. So if there is someone out there who is likely to fit this in the next week or two and can give feedback then that would be helpful. The twenty ordered arrived about mid day so I have them here. I cannot tell at the moment whether this is a case of non standard Vincent sizes or not. If it is then it might explain why some people who fit the JE steering stem find that the wheel comes back a long way and can hit the front cylinder and with other bikes nothing like that happens.
