1. There are no .50 appliance parts, with the possible exception of wire
nuts. Fox doesn't carry this, at least in the online catalog.
2. Write them via their web page and see if they have a US distributor. Or
ask them for a sample for product evaluation. Send them an email and tell
them that you are looking for someplace to buy a repair part. They may just
send you one.
3. Did you look here:

Just a thought..
