Metric and imperial are never a direct replacement, they are always slightly bigger/smaller than the imperial size etc.
I got 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4mm from my LHS that does model trains and what not... 60p each.

that should do the trick yeah? Not exact, but it has useful increments in sizes from 0.3mm to 1.6mm
