Hardly a tuned engine....I'd stick with NGK or Bosch...both are excellent plugs.

Yes in the middle will do, but dont get hung up on super accuracy. If you have a single feeler gauge blade within your set that sits between these measurements just use that. It should just slide through the gap with a little "drag", a gauge larger than the top limit should not.
You are just checking they have not been bashed in transit or manufactured wrong before you fit them.

No it's a factor of 10 different. With feeler gauges the idea is to stack up a selection of leaves together to get a desired dimension. E.g. the 0.4 with the 0.2 and the 0.5 together give you a total of 1.1mm which is the upper plug tolerance.

Also be aware that some guage sets are both metric and imperial on the same leaves. Metric will usually be tenths of mm 0.10 or possibly hundredths 0.001 of mm. imperial will always be in thousandth of an inch 0.0010
