I didn't keep the precision tool I last used to check for rocker-to-stud clearance.

A strategically bent paper clip, as I recall recommended by the late, great Racer Brown.

I always used a piece of wire solder and you can measure the clearance after the rocker cuts in to the solder

Off topic....

And don't forget the "Louis/Slotting Tool" if you want to install 1.6 ratio rockers..
