Post by omkar.sunkersett »

Where do you buy a new front fender for the Korg Kronos 2 88 if the front fender has a dent?

If I understand I think the part is an end cheek to the chassis.

if you have a K2 my guess its wood

@GregC,

I am talking about the front metal bar that covers the keybed assembly on the K2 88.

I looked online and it is out of stock everywhere.

How bad is the dent? Can it be knocked out? Automobile panel beaters can do amazing things with bodywork.

Hmm, that's a very strange image format!! Nothing to see here. Not running Win10, so needed conversion to .jpg.

The dent in the image would not be a problem for an auto repair shop.

Have you tried this place. Not sure if this is the correct part since there is no image available, but you could contact them.

I am unclear on the exact problem.

Is the k2 a recent purchase and was it presented as ' new ' ?

If so, you have a case against the seller or store.

It’s a lightly used Kronos2-88. I was given a partial refund for the dent to purchase a new front bar.

I had a similar issue and cut out a wooden mold to match the bumper angles /profile (external and internal) and pressed it with bench vise (and hammered the wooden block profile a bit) back into shape. Came out really good, but does take a bit of patience and little bit of skill or luck.

Nothing to lose given the item is OOS at the moment.
