    Trouble finding feeler gauge

    I'm having trouble locating feeler gages smaller than .005"

    I'm doing valve adjustments on all of our quads soon and one of them requires a .002" for crying out loud!

    Any recommendations for an online vendor?

    Thanks!

    Chapparal part num 315-0823 .002/.003" Motion Pro feeler guage. $3.99 I found one at a local autoparts store, had to bend it myself, no biggie.

    I swear this site is magic! Not 30 minutes after I posted, a Snap-On truck pulled up next door to my office. Got a pack of gages down to .0015 for about 8 bucks!

    Just the same, thanks for the detailed reply MikeL250X !

    Just a FYI for anyone else.....if you have a Sears near you, they should have them...I got one for $8.00 as well that goes down to .0015.

    wow...

    I've never found anything on the snap-on truck that was under $20, let alone $8

    Great tools, but they are not cheap...!

    Make sure you have a torque wrench as well. You must torque those jam nuts....

    Will do, thanks for the heads up. I usually work "by the book" anyways. As far as the gauge set I bought, it wasnt marked "snap-on" so I guess you'd normally have to pay for the stamp.
