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!

Bugger all in the end
Nil progress on the punch. I took the carrier out for a lap of the block then took the jeep out to the beach. I havn't seen a short punch Lynn but had noticed this one will easily go all the way thru the track plus some!
Any pictures of an LP punch in the album there Lynn?
