@BillB
just a thought, if your getting a 44m chain line with a 102bb are you planning on changing cranks to get down to 42mm?
I seem to remember when crimping the stay on mine, I put the stay in a vice with a bit of very soft wood behind it to prevent crushing as best I could, then I think I used a little nail puller crow bar, put the flat tip where I wanted the crimp section extending (mine was already crimp/dented I was just lengthening it) and wound the vice up gradually tighter and I think I had to wiggle the frame a bit as I went until the crimp/dent was long enough.
