Making a track punch
So, I sourced an old cut in half suspension rod ( because they are super hard) borrowed a track punch from Alex and set to on the lathe at work during lunchtime. Here is the progress so far. Going to button weld the head on then cut the sides off the head and grind to shape.

For what track is the punch for?
The upper one which I am taking as the one you are copying looks familiar to me. R

Punch
The punch is for an LP carrier, I'm copying a punch from an FV432 that is very similar to wartime production carrier punches.

Bit more progress
All I've managed in the last couple of days has been to cut the rod to length and start shaping the head, I may get a bit of grinder time in thismorning. Will post some progress hopefully later today.

Lew, are you aware that there is also a short punch?
I thought the the LP2 style was only from octagonal stock (no big end) Nice work!
