Took the easy route and bought a brand new Indian GP horncast rather than repairing the butchered threads on my Italian one. I always assumed they were the same but they aren't.

The Indian one is a good 7mm narrower at the top. This means it's far too thin for the grooves on the legshields and under the headset. It just won't do so I guess it serves me right for being lazy. Just so people know and don't make the same mistake as me :D

It will move, bolt it to the legshields and get some heat on it, let it cool and it should be OK

I thought the casting was different i.e. there's less metal and its physically smaller. Thanks for the tip, think I'll pass though and repair the original
