I just had a bunch of fader panels made for the Mark III. Like all my panels I had them made out of 2.5mm thick aluminium because that is the thickness you need to sit flush in a Eurorack. I got a bunch of low cost P&G compatible fader caps off eBay and tried them out. They all sit visibly high on the tangs. I then grabbed an old Neve fader panel with a P&G fader and visually the cap sits much closer to the panel top. So I took the cap off this fader and tried it on one of my panels. It sits high. So I took one of the eBay ones and tried it on the Neve panel and it sits just right. So I measured the thickness of the Neve fader panel and it turns out to be 3mm.
I never really thought about this but it looks like the 'standard' fader panel thickness is 3mm. I guess I will need to shim mine up by 0.5mm.
