I have a digital vernier caliper.

I think I also have a micrometer in somebodies garage somewhere?

and metal rulers of various thicknesses + feeler gauges.

But I just wondered if anyone already knew without me having to dismantle the whole thing again.

Use a 2.5mm Allen wrench for a feeler gage. Unstrung, trem body sitting on the body of the guitar, from the top of the trem body to underneath the screw head X 6. Look up John Mann's guitar vault, "Installation Instructions for a 6 post bridge" :mrgreen:
Good Luck
