Hi all,

Could not find a source for these dots, so I tried making them myself. They are close to the OEM dot, but if anyone has a better source, please let me know.

Thanks

Cory

Looks like they are done by the same method. These punches have a point in the center so you can align them. Grinding the punch to the right taper would make them more accurate.

Hi Denny, Thank you for the kind words. Together we are smarter.

Hi Bob, Thank you for the link. I thought I looked on the auction site, but failed. Hopefully others will benefit.

Hi 98SVT, I was thinking the same thing, dulling the center point. I also tried double stacking so the lower material would have a smaller dimple.

Take care

Cory
