I drive by St. Clair a few times a week and only recently noticed a 4x4 piece of plywood with the words "Leeds Foundry" spray painted on it.
Google says that I might have a ductile cast iron foundry 10 miles from my home. I'm gonna have to check this out as the Ben Hur tailgate hinges are still a project I want to get done.. but was always hesitant to ship my hinges and a ton of money to a foundry 10 states away.
With any luck they'll at least talk to me about a small run of castings and maybe some other projects.
