Thanks.
get a steel bolt thats threaded pretty far, some big, thick washers, and a nut to thread onto the bolt.
put some washers onto the bolt, then the top cup, and rest that on your head tube, then put the bottom cup and washers up to the head tube and screw on the nut. MAKE SURE THE CUPS ARE EVEN AND FLUSH WITH THE HEAD TUBE. then tighten the bolt so that the washers squeeze the cups into the frame. put in your bearings and races and caps and such (dont forget your fork) and you're good to go.
