You might consider trying something like what I did some years ago http://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=406&highlight=cent+dies
with just scrap plywood. Or if you need to make a short run of these parts the next and likely needed upgrade would be the right thickness of scrap aluminum with metal guide pins. Actually the part you have looks to be low production or patched by someone, certainly not something from expensive high production dies IMO. ~ John Buchtenkirch
