I think headsets are 1" Whitworth and I haven't found an exact equivalent.
I bought a cheap socket set at a yard sale that has a lot of those in between sizes. Hopefully I remember this if I ever get an old Raleigh.
Does a pre-Raliegh Hercules have the same sizes? My dad has one that will need an overhaul some day soon.
