    You need a go/no go gauge mate. Obviously the one relevant to the profile mentioned previously. I'm sure there must still be a source of them somewhere... but if you find one treat it like gold dust! If there isn't a source of them then somebody could perhaps make a few quid by getting some done by CNC and flogging them on!

    Only thing the go/no go can't do for you is tyre thickness - the rest is all there on one funny shaped piece of plastic/steel.
