I ordered and customised this compression ring on Aliexpress. The headset is now 100% free of play (without any torque struggles, just as it's meant to be and ever was on any bike). It seems to be the Specialized design. I hope that it is also a bit gentler for the steerer tube.
referring to the video by henrychungfitness:

I had to widen the two openings a little so that the Shimano brake cables would fit through.
I cut off the outer plastic ring on the headset cap so that it doesn't rub on the frame.
I asked them for the same painting Patrick Lino has and they said it's custom and 500$ extra. LMAO... adding a little black fade to their white frame is costly. Those guys are out of touch.
Patty,
What are your current bikes in your arsenal? Is the T1500 the only one you keep around?

They include clamps for both 7x9 and 7x7 by default. Currently, I'm using the 7x7 without any issues.
@Pat, which expander did you put in yours? I am curious since you did not report slippage at that point.
I can see that I am not the only one having issues with rear caliper mount. How do you guys manage it? Do you have any clever tips to align it? Usual methods i.e. tightening mounting bolts with a brake engaged with or without metal shim doesn't work.
