Hi, I need to buy some metric feeler gauges to set the valve clearance on a motorcycle and have been told the width of the blades need to be narrow, around 8mm, I have searched the net but can't seem to find any that narrow. Could someone here set me in the right direction?

Worst case, you can always cut or grind down the ends of a cheap standard width set, deburring like a fanatic so the edges of each leaf are no thicker than stock.
