Side housing lapping in Alabama or Georgia?

Are there any shops that can do side housing lapping in Alabama or Georgia?

I could have sworn there was a rotary racing shop in Alabama, but I forgot the name.

The only lapping machine that I know of in the area is at MAZMART. Rick Engman of Downing Atlanta runs it. If you want further info, contact Paul Thomas at MazMart.

www.mazmart.com

Again, specifically speak to Paul.

You will have to call Paul and ask. That is if you can get it done. Rick's a very busy guy. And, I'm sure it will not be inexpensive.
