Crown race - Super Record/C Record compatability

Hello. I have a C Record headset with a crown race that need to be replaced. I happen to have a Super Record crown race in my parts bin that is in good shape. Would there be any problems simply using the Super Record crown race with the C Record headset? Thanks in advance.

Correct. C-Record uses 5/32" balls, while Super Record uses 3/16" balls. They are unlikely to interchange successfully.
