 You can get 1/2" x 12" feeler gage stock from most industrial suppliers 
in thicknesses from .001-.030  for under a buck each.  You can drill or 
punch holes in it relatively easily and can cut it with tin snips to 
length.
For example on the KBC Tools website they have a dozen for $11.91 or 
25ft coil for $16.70 http://www.kbctools.com    goto page 740
