hi ladies ´n gents

i'm just wondering how many of you have metric feelers, how many make do with the inch feeler gauges and who might want to have a complete set of metric gauges to be able to determine the valve clearance to the hundredth of a mm.

because i now have a source for these finely graded feeler gauges
the thickness starts at 2/100 mm and increases (in the offer I am considering of a total of 30 feelers ) in 1/100 steps up to 35/100 mm

- generally not available are the thicknesses 17, 19, 21, 23, 27, 29/100 - sorry

i would build a stable cover for the better arrangement of the feelers and then offer you the entire set here.
the set, i´m thinking about, would basically look similar to the one in the photo.
whether the cover would then be made of metal or plastic would depend on the costs that would arise for me.

the whole offer would just depend on the quantity that was queried (ordered).

i estimate the price per set to be around 80-90 € plus postage.

but then the owner of my set is able to measure the valve clearance in 1/100 mm (according to the manual) with a single sensor, almost without duplicating sensors.


@captain

would it be possible to start an e-survey for this offer so that i and everyone else here would get an overview of whether my offer would be accepted and in what quantity?

being a machinist in the USA My brain thinks thousandths and "tenths" .0001 inch

I once being a machinist I once when my bike was motor and spray
I ground valve shims and got every valve to tight end within .0005 inch

weekend next opened them to loose end Bike ran the same
Baro and Humiditiy as very close on days
