Lytaloy Headset Wanted!

[7ven]

Hello!
I'm after a Lytaloy headset for my 1947 Hobbs of Barbican Clubweight.
Looking to install a bit more period authenticity before Eroica Britannia.
Good money waiting.
Cheers
Pete

Re:

Is it a clip type head set you are looking for ? Does it have to be lytaloy?

Re:

Hi Bagpuss,
Yes, preferably Lytaloy but open to anything else from the late 40's.
This is what I'd ideally love.

Here's the bike at Eroica Britannia last year.

Re:

So it is a cup type head set with a lock nut and your stem has an expander bolt as bike in pictures ?

I have a TDC head set and an a used Ltaloy as pictured {which has one of its teeth missing but is ok other wise} . I will take some pictures and forward them to you . However it will be after Tuesday 17/2 before I can do this as my pc at home is off line .
Hoping I will be back on the net by then.
So please bare with me .

Thanks very much!
Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Re:

Had a look at what the last one sold for on the net as a part set only and given damage to teeth and worn chrome how about £34 including postage .
