I have a 2020 Fox 40 29”. Because I’m a hamfisted idiot, I snapped one of the stanchion pinch bolts on the upper crown. I’m having no luck getting it out with a drill bit and easy out. Looking around a bit, it seems they changed from 2021 on? Can someone confirm this before I buy the wrong crown? And if anyone has a 2020 upper crown collecting dust, let me know and I’ll buy it off you.

I know it's not what you're particularly looking for, but just in case it is compatible, I now have a 2022 top flat crown that I'd sell you for cheap. That is, if it's compatible.

Maybe worth considering taking the crown to a machine shop to have them extract the pinch bolt? Could be a similar price to buying a new crown.

I'm dude playing dude pretending to b another dude
If memory serves it was the offsets. They added 4 different offsets as an option .
As far as the bolt, I have literally drilled the head off and drilled the whole center almost out then shoed a slighlty smaller extractor in there to remove..

I'll call fox and verify, I always swapped stuff around but crowns together..

Yeah, I’m going to go that route if I haven’t mucked it up too much already. Risse Racing makes some crowns that aren’t terribly expensive. Going to call them today.
