Automotive Retainers

We have built some molds for automotive retainers, also known as christmas trees. We have been laminating the inserts together and I was wondering if someone knew a better way of making these that they would like to share.

Thank-You

Andy, Being here in the Detroit area I'm very familiar with a number of designs for these types of tools. Unfortunatly,,,,In this politically correct world that we live in we NOW have to call these parts fir trees or pine trees ( BOOO !)Anyway,,Please give me a call and we'll get into this a little deeper ,hopefully without much 'pining'( yes ,that's an intentional pun )Mike Biddle Sr. Product Specialist P.C.S.
