Ours are .006" so you could try .004.

However, be careful about stiffness, as the last thing you want is a reed being so supple that it gets sucked into the engine.

Mind, you, it's not bad for us as we may get to sell you replacement engine parts lol!

They don't need to flex so much as they need to float.
