In 22 years of owning this bike I never thought of doing this, I always just trued the wheel to fit. This centering option is great. Thanks guys.
Glad that it worked out for you. Often, however, the headset will overhang the centering bolt making the use of a cone wrench a hit or miss proposition. The two tools I suggested work better in most all situations. They are easier to get into the gap.
