It depends on what unit of measure your feeler gauge is in... It's likely in inches, so you would use the 0.003" gauge.

My God Curtis! I would expect (and reply without ridicule) this question from a "Gringo" but from you? Don't they teach both systems in school up there anymore? And yes, as others have stated .003" is equal to just under .008mm, good luck eh.

Just a quick correction: you got one too many zeros on the metric equivalent there... 0.003" = 0.08 mm

Do they still give out and accept Canadian Tire money? I buried a box of it in the backyard at my folks place before I left for Mexico. You know, to use as currency when the global economy fails.
