I have just refurbished my 1980's Peugeot which I use as a training bike. It
has always been a very comfortable and reliable ride. Part of the
refurbishment was to fit a new Stronglight headset. The bike has Mafac
centre pull brakes so I have the brake cable guide sandwiched between the
screw down part of the top bearing and the locknut. I have set the headset
up with the right bearing pre load using the screw down and then tightened
the lock nut whilst holding the screw down but after a 100 miles or so the
whole thing is loose again as evidenced when applying the front brake. Any
ideas on how to get it to remain tight.

I think it's your mindset that keeps coming loose.
