RETRO ORANGE P7 HELP

I wonder if anyone can help. I've got a retro P7 (96ish) and am trying to get a new aheadset fitted. The shop have tried about five 1 inch to no avail. The problem seems to be that the inside diameter of the head tube is too large for the Aheadset, therefore meaning the outside surface of the Aheadset shell doesn't sit flush against the inside of the head tube, causing there to be play between the component and the frame.
I've attached pic 3 to try and illustrate exactly what I mean.

Have u guys heard of this before?? It seems very strange to me.

Curious to see how it looks

thanks

Exactly as I liked, blue parts and a different clear tyre.

The thing is that I have a Spinergy Set(darker on the wheels) but will try on mine the Wildgrippers to see if looks as yours.
