Anyone know who would rebuild a bos idylle rare?

I know bos is difficult to deal with and it seems like most don't get involved in bos stuff. I cant even find seals online.
This would be in the US

QBP at one point was a BOS service center, not sure if that's still the case.

I had a 2010-ish Idylle Rare that I rode for several years. I replaced dust wipers with SKF wipers for a Fox 36 and they fit just fine. I had the fork apart every year to replace the oil and clean everything, pretty straight-forward to disassemble and rebuild. Just don't strip the tiny screw at the bottom of the damper side that holds the LSC/HSC adjustments together. If that's stripped you'll have a hard time getting the lowers off.

Every online distributor that google gives me that has bos stuff does not have anything in stock
Good to know on the fox wipers, maybe I can go that route
Thanks

I actually emailed them the other day and I did get a response.
I will get them the specs on the fork and see where it goes
In the meantime I might try to pick up something else, a fox 40 or a boxer since I have no idea how long it will take for parts and could most likely justify having a spare
