Are there different sized hole punchers, or are they all the same size? If they're all the same, are they the correct size? Thanks for the idea. *NM*

I make them with a paper hole puncher and some .010 plastic or aluminum sheet. *NM*

Part request please. Can anyone spare 4 matching round headlight covers for a 1960's -1970's stock car? Thanks ! *NM*
The smaller ones, for a 4 headlight car. *NM*

They're different sizes. For some reason I had several hole punchers at a previous employer, one day I took a few scraps of .020" sheet styrene to work and punched a bunch of each size *NM*
For making disks I choose the appropriate size of brass tube and "sharpen" one end with a hobby knife. Press it onto the plastic then carefully rotate and you'll have it. *NM*
Sharpening brass with a hobby knife? Wouldn’t using a file be easier and safer? *NM*
Chuck the tubing in an electric drill and sharpen ID and OD with a fine file. You can even hone it if you want it really sharp. *NM*
That’s what I do as well. Works like a charm! *NM*
The hole punch method, that is. *NM*
If your town has a small printer who still does offset jobs with ink and a press....
I use a hole punch also and it works great! just get a small hand held, about $6.00. with the number of stock cars you build it'll be worth it. *NM*
