My Tune freehub body has cracked again close to holidays so perfect timing as usual...
I'm under the impression that SRAM made XD with an open patent for others to manufacture which everyone except Shimano has done.
Are all the bodies the same across brands? Can I buy something else and it will work with what's left of my Tune hub?

Hope XD driver on Tune hub? Possible?
No. They are the same on the outside but brand specific on the inside.
The open standard only refers to the interface between the cassette and the freehub body. How the freehub sits on the bearings or engages with the pawl or ratchet mechanism is down to each manufacturer.
nope, recently been through similar trying to source XD freewheel spares for a mates formula branded hub but ended up telling him to buy a new hub.
Damn, Tune aren't making my hub anymore... this could get awkward and spendy. Trip to the Tune factory tomorrow methinks.
If anyone is looking for a DT Swiss Ratchet XD freebody I should have a spare one tomorrow.
I've got a novatec b2 xd driver if it helps?
