Default Looking for feeler gauge in Minneapolis ASAP

I'm scrambling to get my car ready for the Hawk Vintage races at Road America this week and managed to mangle my remaining feeler gauge blades. Is there anyone in the Minneapolis area with .004 inch blade inserts I could use tomorrow? I'd gladly replace yours?

Why not run down to Pep Boys?

I know I love my fancy blue handled tool, but in a pinch (get it? ) I'd use anything.

Just unscrew it from the cluster.

That is my backup plan, but I was hoping I didn't have to adjust one of those to make it work

Just buy the 12" long ones and bend the tip in a vice or pliers. 1/2" back at 45deg. Once you use it you'll wonder why you ever fussed with anything else...
