1.2 MM is roughly the same thickness as the OEM sheetmetal, You could seek out a set of factory NOS rockers but those are expensive and from the many rockers I have replaced over the years (both OEM NOS, early repops (Junk) and good repops)
I have found most (not all) of the recently manufactured "offshore" rockers fit as good as the OEM ones, I had stashed many sets of NOS ones over the years but sold them all because I can purchase 10 sets of repops for what one set of NOS ones bring.
