Rad Rides sells them. I have a die and flare I would let you borrow if I can find it. i have not used them in a long time. Does it have to be 2.5? I think mine is 2.75 or 1.875 for the two I have.

Lenie,

How big is the part... Can it be shipped to Long Beach CA.

I could do it for you. My die set includes a 2.5" and can do up to .120 SS or 4130.

Brett, thanks but it's only one hole in a piece of aluminum .060" thick, if It were a mess of holes, I'd love to send you my business. Thanks again, great group of guys on this forum.

Thanks everyone, it's was only one hole so I was trying to find a bus. around here to quickly punch it out w/o having to wait but I guess it just gives me a reason to go out and buy a set and learn to put them to use.

Use a hole saw, debur the edges, place on a canvas bag of sand or a supported rubber mat, drop in a billiard ball and whack it with a mallet.

We use to do them with two different size sockets in a vice.

Place smaller socket on that side you want to go in and bigger socket the side that is coming out.

Choose socket size so that the smaller will go inside the bigger easily.

Now I had CNC made evolution II dimples, my own desing, they are now getting heattreaded, will get them back next week. They have build in hole punch in every size. Made set of 10 sizes, from 1/2"-3"

Anyone wanna see them?

Tim Bruning has a set of the Mitler Bros. Its a bit far to drive for one hole.
However it would save you $$.
