A bit too fancy, Colonel. Just can't help myself. I was putting the finish on them and stopped myself. We're not making jewelry here, I told myself. Still, it's fun to try to turn out a nice tool. These are overkill to be sure.
I've got at least one more piece to turn. When pulling in the bottom cup, I'll use a 1/2 thick bushing of PTFE teflon cut to exactly register on the top head lug to keep the back end of the rod centered. The fit between the threaded rod and the bronze dies is a nice slide fit so though there is a bit of play between the rod and the head tube, it ought to center well. When pulling in the top cup the bottom cup die will register the rod. The die are machined to fit the flats in the cups precisely so I'm hoping there's very little slop. We'll see.
