[Supras] Lapmaster - lapping and 335i

[Tomas Günther]

Hi Peter,
 
I will start the process next Saturday and hope to be done by Monday (I'll let you know). Unfortunately I do not have a profilometer, so unless I can get one I will have to rely on touch and the way it looks. 
 
I'm not sure how to go about lending it, maybe getting a deposit for the cost of the plate and refunding it once I get it back. Since I have never done something like this maybe you guys know of a better way. I am open to suggestions
 
Regards,
