Was at the Design 2 Part trade show yesterday and happened to cross a Mid-Western die/casting manufacturer with a display that happened to have a Fox thru-axle fork lower lying on their table. It obviously caught my eye and we got talking. Turns out that the company manufacturers some of the lowers for Fox stateside for a piece part cost of ~$11 a pop. Tooling on the other hand was high as to be expected at ~$300K.
No real real moral to the story here, but thought it was pretty neat. Would love to see that tooling in action. Guess I know who to call if I ever get a Fox and mung up the lowers
