Scilly.Suffolk-
Up and down the steerer?
Yups, the thread where the adjustable race sits is the 'poor thread qaulity' area so just as I start to nip the adjustable race up to remove 'play' in the headset..... "plink"... the adjustable race jumps out of the thread and the refuses to behave correctly (I wagged my finger and had words but it still insists on requiring proper thread to perform adequately).
Uber-meh.
However, working with your (and others from AQA) idea of spacers to get the lock nut onto the nice man-sized portion of thread... I do believe I have an old HS in my 'oooo.... that might come in handy one day' box of tatt. I'll experiment over the weekend report either success or my imminent demise.
Ta again as always for the guidance Scilly.

Hi again Scilly! Hmm , I've gone into 'deep-thought' mode. One concern would be that the threaded top race wont be any use 'adjusting' the play in the bearings as the adjustable race thread area 'slips' here so I'd only be relying on the Lock to do it wouldn't I?
