You'll probably not get an exact equivalent in your imperial set, so you'd be as well to wait for a set of metric.

Ԛ£3 bought me a set of metric feelers from drapers!

worked plenty well on my bro's skoda

Never used a metric set of feelers in my life. Bloody modern rubbish!
In English, 9.8 thou cold and 11.8 thou hot.
Use 10 thou or 12 thou, and set a little tight.

I take it your recent PC problems were due to the bakelite motherboard disintegrating?

No, one of the EZ81's in the power supply, plus a couple of ECC83s gone low emission.
