You should really implement some kind of deposit. Things happen and some members can just be shaddy when it boils down to it. I would get your values worth of the item just in case you do end up getting screwed. Of course, it's your item and your money but i would hate for that to happen to you.

Personally I'd be asking the full value of the Tq plate + shipping as a deposit, I'm not much for lending tools though.

I'm thinking of a policy change to require a deposit into PayPal... I remember that there is a Ron R 7M torque plate out there, somewhere. I recall that what is required is paying the cost of shipping. That plate is still out there, not readily available though, that is why I bought one. What I'm getting at is his plate is available to the next person asking for it, from the person who used it last. That policy seems to be working. No? Van

In my mind the deposit is more a means to motivate people to return it. Even well meaning people with no intention of anything "shady" will be motivated to return it quickly if they have a deposit to get back. It might also motivate those well meaning guys who will store the plate in their garage for 6 months because they haven't quite got around to getting the block sent out to the machine shop but are planning "for sure" to send it out next week! :icon_bigg

It's time to revive this thread... Yes, the torque plate is available for rent.
Rental policy for the 7M Tq Plate: Deposit $355, in addition to your choice of shipping and insurance on the torque plate, shipped through the US Postal Service (Tq plate is valued at $355).
When the Tq plate is returned to me, in an undamaged condition, you get the $355 deposit back. What it costs me to repair the plate, will come out of the deposit.
Shipping and insurance is not refundable.
Deposits are held at PayPal, in the following account: kdvanloo@live.com
Please ask the machine shop to use washers when torqueing down the plate. If the stud/bolt holes are deformed have them dress them up before sending out the plate to me or U will get charged out of the deposit.
Thanks
Van

PMed you, but posting here anyways in case you check this first. Thanks :D

edit: I'm reading that you need to use the torque plate with the same type of fasteners and headgasket you'll be using for your build (in my case, ARP studs and MHG). Is this true? I don't want to use a brand new MHG and chance it getting ruined at the shop or having the adhesive coming off.
