Chris King 1.5" baseplate/crownrace

[leitch]

Item: Chris King "base plate" aka crown race in 1.5" (i.e for tapered fork)
Location: Melb, will pay post
Price range/Willing to Pay: What it's worth
Extra Info: Frustratingly out of stock everywhere. Parallel to my WTB for an XC fork is a need for a second crown race, as the carbon Niner fork currently on there is strictly no screwdrivers (there's literally a sticker) and I have a staunch rule against forking out for proper tools for certain jobs including crown race installation/removal (also headsets). Mostly I'd also just prefer to be able to conveniently and easily swap forks without hassle.

Time to break out the chisel!

I threatened it with the angle grinder but it's a tough cookie and wouldn't crack. Next is a car battery hooked up to its dropouts.

Do they use the standard lower sealed bearing? 45ish degree or something?

If so I've got a few spare that I could send your way.

Honestly, I haven't had it out to look in ages. Crown race looks like this:
