I have one of the black label pods,
The thread seems to have gone in 2 of the holes where the legs screw into (just another piece of fox kit that has let me down....)
Can I get this repaired does anyone know and how would o go about it.
Ps it's not in warranty anymore.
Cheers

You could try getting a thread tap to clean it up to see if that helps, or fit a helicoil if you can get the right size and thread . And remember next time to not buy fox

As what's been said above. Fit a helicoil ( 3/8 BSF wire thread insert) , you should be able to get a tap and the insert off Ebay if you don't know anybody in the engineering world.
The tap may come in handy if you have other Fox bits and pieces

Many thanks both,
Are these heli coils easy to fit?

If the thread is knaackered, chances are you won't need to drill the hole any bigger, but can run the tap straight down the existing hole. YouTube will show how easy it is
I've quickly googled this kit, but you may be able to find the tap, insert, and insert tool cheaper

I just ordered the fox qr black label pod. When I took it out of the box three out of the four threads were the same. Contacted the shop for a replacement and when the checked the other bars in stock they were all the same. So sent back for a refund.

The black label stuff is garbage.
