Great work!
Everyone knows King only sold all of two headsets in that last five years.
You've single handedly corrected the only King headset installation screw-up in the past five years! (The other one was installed by a reputable shop with freshly sharpened facing tooling.)
We all know there aren't any King headset users out there that not only installed them without having the frame faced by a pro shop, but are curently using them without problems.
