wrong headset?
Have you had to cut a grove in the forks for the pinch bolt at 90 deg to the originals
We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm

Anyway it's sorted now. It turned out that the edges of the stainless chrome ring I bought off eBay (yes I know) were 'turned up'.
I remedied the situation by utilising a striking implement in a strictly controlled manner at the aforementioned edges.
In other words I beat the f#ck out of it until it fitted.

If in doubt, whack it until it agrees to fit.
