B. Was your handy micrometer used for measuring your feeler gauge thickness made in the same country as your feeler gauge?
C. After stamping out feeler gauges, did the manufacturer remove the thicker stamping burrs on the outer perimeters of the feeler gauge?
D. Accuracy is important ..... but, best not to loose too much sleep ....... thank goodness for "Safety Factors" incorporated in recommended engineering measurements.

Good point, before I start I'll check the feeler gauge with my Starrett Micrometer (with clutch function).
