[TOURINGDADDY]

use a combination (ie .3= .2+.1=.3)

[wayneE30]

These feelers must be marked in thou'. Most of you on here wouldn't even know what that is!
12 thou' is slightly more than 0.3mm. 0.7mm is 27.6 thou.
Conversion is X 39.37

[wayneE30]

ok mate see i knew u would know so which ones do u think i should use as this is so i can check the ingnition timing

[wayneE30]

on the side of them it says 1/1000 inch if that helps

[Brianmoooore]

Yea, that's thous!.
Just multiply your required feeler in mm by 39.37 and this will give you what you want in thou.
e.g. 0.7mm X 39.37 = 27.56 thou, so use 12, 8, 6 and 1 1/2 = 27.5.
In practice 15 and 12 = 27 would be close enough.

cheers mate once again . im off to go and check it will let you know the result

[wayneE30]
