The new gibs are 10-5/8" long, and one cuts them to length. This is

How much did Clausing charge you for the gib?


$174.23 each. Clausing has it well-calibrated. It's a lot for that
little piece of cast iron, but it would take me at least that much
trouble to make one, absent the surface grinder.
