levett Posted February 12, 2010 Share Replacement Fox Fork Lockout Levers I've just been with JB this morning and he was saying that there was a thread here on The Hub some time ago where someone was molding/casting replacement lockout levers in resin. I've done a search, but couldn't find anything - this is exazctly what I'm looking for. Anyone have any leads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighter-Lights Posted February 12, 2010 Share Thanks guys... I can cast a lever after I've made a mould, but I'll need an original one to start with... I can DUPLICATE any part, but needs the original to make a mould from. Even a broken lever will work if all the pieces are still there. I'll glue them together and make a mould from it.

Please PM me and we can discuss - where are you located?levett2010-02-12 08:36:05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techguy Posted February 15, 2010 Share Not saying that it can't be done but I remember the thread, the lockout lever for a fox is in aluminium and has an inticate system of three small ball bearings and grub screws to adjust said balls. Whereas the examples Brighter Lights used were Rock Shox levers which are plastic and have a single screw holding them in place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levett Posted February 15, 2010 Share I'll have to check - maybe it's the Rock Shox one I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighter-Lights Posted February 15, 2010 Share As far as I remember, the fox lever has very thin sections... not sure how the thread will hold up for those 3mm? grub screws... I can however fill the casting with atomized bronze powder... the weight diff wont be much for such a small part. Sorry... crazy busy day... will answer in detail later...

Taps Posted February 15, 2010 Share I can attest to Brighter-Lights workmanship. He copied my RockShox lever, superb quality and detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
