Does anyone have Metric roll pin punches?

[Jbullfrog]

I posted this in the classifieds, but can't get any responses. Has anyone found a source for metric roll pin punches? I had to replace the broken roll pins in the parking brake on one of our Ford Genesis tractors. They are metric and there isn't a standard roll pin punch that will fit in the hole. Shurely, somebody here has dealt with a metric roll pin, what did you use?

I would think you could find a Standard Roll Pin that would extrude that pin. I only have sae punches and would gurantee some of these overseas jacks actually use Metric roll pins but i never have any problems.

I used a peg board hanger that I chucked in the drill press and filed to fit. I would like to just grab the set of metric punches and have the correct size. Usually, I am in the field or in the semi on an opposite cycle to the tractors and don't have time to run to the shop to make a tool.

I'm guessing you are working on an interchangable punch system of some sort?

Some pin punch sets are more complete than others. I needed a punch for a 6mm spring pin on my Subaru, and ended up buying a Proto pin punch set that included a 7/32" (5.5mm) punch, which a lot of the sets skip. Its Proto Set J49007, I got it from these guys since they are local to me: http://www.brtool.com/default.aspx?page=item detail&itemcode=P+J49007
