I am changing the spark plugs in my car and find myself without my spark

Is there any way I can simulate this gap (thickness) of .05" by using
standard items in my garage, like nails, wires, drills bits, etc?

Probably, but why bother? ...

What in "Would save me a long trip to the nearest supply house." didn't

If he has a 9/200's drill bit he could use that.



A #57 drill bit is .043; a #56 is .046. Or your FLAPS likely has a
little tool with pieces of wire in the common spark plug gap sizes
sitting in a bin next to the checkout for less than $5.
