Some hopefully non-dumb answers (but watch out, I may be just another uninformed chopper).
1) I've seen some ISO headsets advertised as NJS. Not seen them in the flesh, though. I had thought they would only be certified if they were JIS. Headsets should be stamped JIS (27/30) or ENG/ISO (26.4/30.2).
Stacks should be similar, but not necessarily identical. My two NJS frames have about 0.3mm difference in the amount of stack needed.
Someone had bodged ISO cups and a JIS crown race into my Makino. The dodgy interface chewed the crown and took some fixing.
2) Yes, 68mm shell, BSC/ISO thread. But always check if someone has messed your threads.

Ron Cooper track, ex @pharoahsanders, finally ready for the summer. All now more or less as I would have liked to race it in the '80s.

I know white tape ain't practical, but some of my old bikes just NEED it. And I started racing in the '80s, when most bar tape was white. So I'm addicted.
I'm looking for alternatives to Benotto and Bike Ribbon, both of which clean up reasonably and have zero padding. Hit me with tried and tested suggestions.
Thanks!

Saddle and bars added. I need a low-profile saddle to stop the bike's proportions looking ridiculous, as the seat tube is 2-3cm longer than I usually ride.
As for the bars, the ITM stem is actually a 25.4. All my 25.4 bars have a narrower collar than the stem clamp. Safe enough, but looks weird up close. Plus narrow bars don't suit the '90s aesthetic. I think I'm going to open up the stem for 26.0 bars. It's steel, so all will be well.

I used to have some Atlanta 96 on DA7600. Lovely they were. I still regret selling them 25 years on.
