Mold? I'm thinkn perhaps the mount can be manufactured by a laser cutting process.
Something like this if done with plastic (teflon?): The cap is pushed onto the base and the leads fish through sideways. (Uhhh.. that'll be tricky..But..it's slippery teflon.) The lead ends are bent and become the feet.

Yes, it's cheaper.
Too expensive for mass productions.
Depending on how many you are making. Plastic could be less than a nickel or dime.
So, you want to laser cut a FR4 or plastic to save on drillings FR4?
Oh oh ... It's getting silly now. :)

Shut up impostor.
Mold?? Stamping?? How about straight FR4 at 100 up per board and cutting them apart.
Manufacturing cost and sales price are not the same thing.
may be able to find them
