The space between each clip groove on a Mikuni needle is .021" (0.53 mm) if you can find a shim washer half that thickness those will be ideal for your purpose. ID needs to be .100" (2.5 mm) and OD .240" (6.1 mm) based on needle and clip OD'S.

Damn!! I just bought 30$ of 0.5mm washer on amazon!!! I read on another post that was 1mm between each clip!! So 0.5mm is gonna be perfect to have little adjustments on these needle, I guess ?! 
thanks man
