how you install your headsets

just wondering if my method is suitable not just for threaded headsets but threadless as well

What is your method? do you think we are mind readers?

a piece of wood at each end of the headset then put it in a vice and wind away, dead straight first time

this is the best way.

But I don't have any spacers like that so I just beat the shit out of the cups with a mallet. Or a piece of wood and a hammer.
