hey everyone so I bought an Eva 4.5 never even riden and Raleigh m-60 and the M-60 is in good shape but the headset has some play and it can't be tightened up enough to fix it I took it apart and the top bearing and race look like they have seen better days. How do I go about getting new parts? Is there a size I need to know I am green when it comes to the specifics . Thanks everyone!

A lot of headsets incorporate a "compression ring/cone" which facilitates keeping the the steerer from wobbling inside the head tube ... if the compression cone is missing, then you will never be able to adjust the headset properly.
