spark plug regapping
 
hi everyone
i still couldn't get this regapping thing.. i know why it is done and how but i couldnt get the distance measure.. most people regap it at 0.30 but 0.30 what mm inches etc ? and from where to where is this distance on the spark plug .. looking at the picture below is it between a and b or a and c or other?

it is the gap between a and b, and you get a little gapper from the parts store for like $1.00 and gap them, easiest thing you could EVER do....
