Thickness of an official Prusa cable tie

Can anyopne tell me the thickness of an OFFICIAL Prusa cable tie as used for setting the PIND height when building the Mk3/S printer. I have run out of Prusa supplied cable ties and would prefer to use a feeler guage for this measurement rather than a 3-party cable tie.

Surely someone has measured the thickness of the Prusa cable tie before using the last one.

A quick test with my assumed-to-be-near-the-ballpark digital caliper shows between 1.16 and 1.20 mm along the main flat part.

@jsw

Thanks JSW...at least that dimension should never change if I use my feeler gauge instead of some tie that I found in my junk box. For some reason...my PIND probe keeps moving in height even if I screw the clamp as hard as it will go so I have to re-set the height to get consistent layers
