No, just to see how close it is, you can do this on any flat surface . But I don't think you will be able to use a caliper, as the fingers have a curved surface. You can hunt up a deep socket and a crosspiece with a couple of shims and that will get you close.
Alternatively, I guess you could float a flat disc over the fingers and caliper it, adjacent to the fingers. If you you do it as I imagine it,lol, that will get you real close.
