Feeler gauge
I've been searching Amazon for a set of feeler gauges that goes up to 1.2mm so I can use it to adjust the clutch cable but cant find anything that goes up larger than .88mm. Where can I find larger sizes gauges?

Thanks all, The thought had occurred to me to just do the math and use two together but I figured they were available somewhere. Didn't realize that most of us are just using two at a time and taping them together. Who knew? Thanks!

They can be bought if you REALLY need them , but for one-off jobs it’s not worth it for most .
If you have a spark plug gaper set it could go to 1.2 . If you must have a 1.2mm , you could try these relatively inexpensive plastic gauges . https://www.amazon.com/Rannb-Plastic-Feeler-0-05mm-Measuring/dp/B07TJCN4M3?th=1 |

Yep, stack some together to get what you need.
McMaster has plenty of options if you can't find what you need elsewhere. https://www.mcmaster.com/feeler-gauges It took me a lot of fiddling the first time I adjusted the clutch. Second time took probably 10 minutes. |

you can use a 0.050 inch feeler gauge or a piece of 18 gauge steel sheet. You would have a 0.003" error which for the clutch cable is negligible
