"Not sure how to use Plastiguage to help with identifying 1 & 5."Likely that these two are going to be at least Brown to then check with plastigauge.
I would take the smallest pin size, work out code for that and run in for 500 miles
Have you got a vernier scale on the mic to give the 3rd decimal place number? It'll show which way the tolerance is leaning to and help make the decision easier.

By just touching the contact at very very light sliding pressure, then look at the marking to see if you are above or below the 0.01 mark, even by a small amount. It can tell you if they are between 0.00 and 0.01 or between 0.01 and 0.02 which will give you the correct position on the colour table.I have done that now - that thanks. TedSettled now on Black, Brown & 3 Green sets of shells - I will plastiguage for peace of mind when I start to rebuild the casing..
