Default Size of Slick E gap tool

I am timing the E gap of my Slick mags. They show a tool for doing this that I should be able to make pretty easily. However, it is the thickness of this piece that is the critical element. Does someone have one of these that could tell me the thickness.

I have the older style rotor, so only looking for the thickness of the flat end.

Thanks for your assistance.

Larry

Perfect. I have some scrape .063 AL I can use without any major tinkering.

Thanks so much for your help.
