Default Where can I buy a .8mm washer for adjusting reference sensors???

i have been to two supply stores and they said they don't have .8mm thick washers.
just wondering if there is a bolt and washer that i can take off the car and use or a place where i can purchase it.
thanks
chris

There are a few tools available for this these days. Here's one:

I have an aluminum turned version made by another lister here -- works great.

Ha ha ha..., mic the box-top of any Marlboro cigarette pack...., it's .8mm.

Cut a small piece for each sensor and affix to sensor face with a very small dab of any type of grease.

Push sensor until it bottoms, tighten bracket.

The air turbulence in the bell housing will blow the paper off on tickover.

If you're ****, after setting bracket, lift each sensor out and pluck paper off with your finger...
