I had a chat with Martyn regarding making my own forms, i believe he used Moyle point chisels cut down and heated up and hammered over a ball bearing to create a cup. I was going to do similar but wondered if i harden a rivet first by heating it up then quenching in oil, let it cool and use it as a form. then heat the bar up form the end over the hardened rivet and again quench the bar in the oil..... as i say i was wondering if they could be puchased. all my top armour will be done so no worries about mix and match, plus all the rivets i have got are imperial the supplier can even do them countersunk all be it i will be using normal dome heads unless i find a way to countersink all my holes 45 deg with sufficient depth.
cheers guys i will keep you all posted on this front.
