[Roadsters] Bell housing front cover question

[Dewey Hahlbohm]

I noticed that too.  It also says if you use 2 of the 1600 plates it will work with the 5 speed. I wonder if the thickness is .08 rather than .8???  I looked for an author of the 4speedto5speedswap, but could not find credit for the writer.  

Can someone confirm thickness of 1600 vs. 2000 front covers?  Dewey
