I've done a heap of googling and not found an answer. Will my forks with a 1.5" steerer fit one? I know many gentlemen of this parish were quite keen on them back in "the day"

I think back the they used 44mm headtubes. So to fit a tapered steere you'd need a headset with zero stack top cup and an external bottom cup.

It's a full 1.5" steerer, so external top. And bottom cups will work I guess?

Can’t be done. External 44mm top cups for 1.5” steerers do not exist. Only exist for bottom.

You’d need a tapered steerer to do it.

It's definitely possible, I remember back in the day, the 44mm headtube was marketed as being compatible with any steerer. Having said that, a quick google would suggest the top cups are no longer available. Nukeproof used to do a headset with the code 44EESS for the job. In SHIS speak, you need an EC44/38.1 top cup.
