That's what I used and they are tiny tiny; definitely small enough to fit into that space. And they're stackable if you need something larger. | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 17:09 | comment | added | Mawg | I did think about that (+1 for helping), but I believe that it would be far too large. I have barely 1/16th of an inch to play with, if that. I can give it a try. Any other ideas? I think I might be able to use something the width of a hacksaw blade, at most. It's a very tight fit, so I will update the question. | |
