It sounds to me like they stuck a machinists shim in there, effectively a bit of precisely measured metal.

Shim feeler gauges would be readily available in most shops checking wear on moving parts. 0.0025 inches (0.635mm) was included in the first high quality (gearwrench brand) set that I looked up online.
