Recently I've noticed a "scraping" type sound as I turn the steerer on my bike. I pulled the fork out this morning and it looks like the bottom cup of my Campagnolo Record 1 1/8" headset has started to brinell. Clearly it's time for a replacement but the Campy one isn't easy to find. I'm assuming that whatever one I use will need to have the same stack height but my Google skills didn't turn up the answers, so does any one know:
1. the stack height of the Campy set (I did a rough measurement and it seems
to be about 24mm or so, and
2. any other headsets that I could use as a substitute.
Thanks

Unless I'm missing something from your post, the Campagnolo 1 1/8" threadless headset is commonly available.
If you are looking for alternatives, in terms of stack height the tune "Bobo" (made by Acros) is the closest:
24.5mm: 1 1/8" Campagnolo "Threadless": total stack height = 24.5mm (upper = 12.3mm; lower = 12.2mm).
24.6mm: 1 1/8" tune (Acros) "Bobo" total stack height = 24.6mm (upper = 12.4mm; lower = 12.2mm).
28.0mm: 1 1/8" Cane Creek "110 EC" total stack height = 28.0mm (upper = 16.0mm; lower = 12.0mm).
31.4mm: 1 1/8" Chris King "NoThreadSet" total stack height = 31.4mm (upper = 17.7mm; lower = 13.7mm).

Available for a measly 58 USD right here...by the way it is still a current campagnolo offering for 2018 according to their catalog..

I’ve got a like-new Campy 1.125” threadless that’s missing the black rubber ring on the lower cup outside. $25 shipped and you can have the headset, swap stuff around, and be good to go. PM me...
