Bearing Cap Replacement

Hey guys, unfortunately, i seemed to have lost my bearing cap for my FSA Orbit DL 1 1/8 headset.. is there anywhere i can find a replacement..or do i have to buy a whole new headset? And do the chris king titanium bearing cups work for the FSA Orbit DL or do i need to have a nothreadset? Please help..

I doubt the CK cups (why titanium?) will work with the FSA. You might want to try and find an FSA instruction sheet on their website (if you didn't get the printed instructions/manual with the headset) and confirm what part you're missing and then see if it's available from FSA as a replacement part.
