No, mm. It should be .35-.45mm or 0.014" to 0.018". It won't function at 0.060" so I think you might be measuring the wrong thing. The clutch will bend too when you put the feeler gauges in so you need to be careful of that too. Measure between the magnet surface and the clutch surface and the feeler gauge needs to be in deep enough so that it matches the backing plate on the clutch so about 1/2 an inch from the edge. The outside edge of the clutch isn't going to be accurate.

OK re checked and I'm right around .045 I can fit a .17in stick but not an 18 so right about 17.5 so about .045mm
Anyone know the tightest belt that will clear a 178 pulley? I'm going to swap belts to see what happens
