1mm = 40 thou (near enough) So for the inlets (2367) at 12 thou you want 0.3mm and for the exhausts (1458) at 15 thou you want 0.375mm - or I would use 0.4 for safety. I assume you know THE RULE OF 9 for setting the valve gaps.

Or just buy a proper imperial feeler gauge, they're cheap enough, and well worthwhile to save having to convert to metric.

At risk of sounding pompous which I am trying to avoid, why not google it?
