If you do it with the contacts in place ~ assembled relay, you will have good contact, that is parallel faces, when you smooth the bumps off.
Good Luck !!
If you look closely, I believe AutoZoo still sells them. You just have to look hard, and nobody knows what your asking for if you ask them. I still have points files from my aircooled VW stint a few years back
