I fit 996 clamps on my DD bike. I got a friend to make a pair of collars up with an internal diameter of 50mm and 53mm external diameter. Theres a slot in the collar to allow it to compress as you tighten the clamps bolts. I know of one dd bike that had the same clamps fitted without any machined collars, they got 2 strips of 1.5mm aluminium and basically just bent it round the forks before fitting the clamps. They didnt have any problems all last year. I prefer my way though.
