I am going to need to mock it up and double check everything. Sometimes I ask questions and already pretty much know the answer. But there are some highly experienced machinists/engine builders who post here. Their opinions never hurt.
I have a 1016 Fel Pro set, think they are .040 or so. Cometic makes a .027. Might get close enough.
Maybe someone can give the actual 1160 thickness.
