Elitebook 850/G8 Display Alignment Tools and Temp Rubber Spacer Straps

[aklh204]

Need to replace the LCD on a Elitebook 850/G8.  Have done many LCD/Display replacements over the years, but this model calls for 2 items that I can't seem to locate:

a. Display Panel Alignment Tools (Jigs) - depending on the size of the HP display.

b. Temporary Rubber Spacer Straps.

I know the double-sided adhesive strips are M11865-001. Any help with HP Part-Numbers for the alignment tool and rubber strips would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, if the LCD spacing specifications within the display rear cover could be provided, that would be the next best thing so as to not rely on a tool that I'd only use once. In hindsight I should've taken the measurements using playing cards or something.

I ended up using playing cards after all.
For an LCD that measures 349.16 mm by 204.49 mm, the expected gaps are as follows:
Top of LCD to lid: 0.9 mm
Sides of LCD to lid: 1.2 mm
Bottom of LCD to lid: 3 mm
