Ultra, yes, the measurements were in inches - .008" O/S for the cps, AND .002" O/S for the fork crown. Since I have a machine shop, I'm more inclined to use methods less crude than filing, more on the order of laping. Yes, the bike had been re-sprayed and chromed by Waterford. The bike is a 1970, so it had certainly been assembled in the past. Also, I do have proper seating tools for the headset which is an early Nuovo Record.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll post any future success or, hopefully not, failure.
