Outside the scope for this project, although interesting to know that it can be done. Worst case scenario, I'll just buy the other Tange headset that has a 33mm stack.

Agreed. Once the lower portion of the headset is installed, the unthreaded portion will disappear. I measured the fork steerer, and minused the headtube and got the same result. Although I'm not 100% clear about the -2mm. I'm guess this is used when calculating the steerer length when the stack height of the headset is known. I think in my mind I'm working backwards by measuring the frame stack height adding 2mm to the headset stack height. Or I may be a lost puppy altogether...
Regardless, I think if the LBS can't find some bits that will work, I'll probably just order the smaller stack height Tange, and space it up as required. Thanks everyone for your input.
