Feeler Gauges

[B4ndit]

I Have hunted high and low and can only find these on US web sites at $38.

Is there a place in the UK that sells them?

 

[neil00001]

Me too

I emailed wurth in the UK, who kindly pointed me in the direction of Wurth Belgium, emailed them, closest one is French speaking, nothing heard from them though.........

Do you really need four like that?

I just have a couple of sets from machine mart (sure any motorfactor or even Halfords would have them too)

If you really need the wurth gauges contact maverick on ukgser, or search through the vendors and find his post selling them.

I've got four feeler gauges but they have loads of blades in each and are therefore slightly heavy and cumbersome. Not ideal for the valves.

Plus its a good excuse to stock my toolbox.

I seem to manage well with just one set of feeler gauges.

As a home spannerman, I like the Wurth guages, yes I realise they are not nescessary but neither is my bike, I like them like the stupid spanner sizes I have and will never use

What's all this $38 and $22 nonsense?

A feeler gauge is a feeler gauge , but if you feel it isn't then you can be sure that .005 = .005 which ever brand.
So, why aren't you guys looking at gauges for £7 or less?

Get a set from Halfords or similar, buy a marker pen and write 'Made In Germany' if that rings your bells.

 

[(RIP) DitchWater]

For whatever reason I have three sets of feeler guages, one I purchased and two from my old firm's toolkit leaving present, and they all separate from the lead-weight assembley.

Just sort yourself out locally from the motorfactors who sorted your circlips.
