John,
At the bottom of the spring it is absolutely no problem. But the top of the spring is a pretty precise fit inside the frame opening, so that extra .005" might be a tight fit. The thickness of sheet of paper is only about .005'" so the extra width may or may not bind, but since you will be working with such a short piece of stock a couple of passes with a draw file would remove that .005 in a heartbeat. A small amount of work considering what effort will go into the whole assembly!
