1.5mm is the standard.
I've used 2mm in my new version for the rails that fractured.

Find some very thin sheet metal, cut it to this sort of shape

Insert the stepped end in the hole, pull it back until the step catches on the edge of the hole, scribe a line on the outside, take it out & measure from the step to the line.

Easy :D
