      You mean a .070" blade or 70 thou taller? 70 thou taller than what?
      Dunno if this'll help. 1/10", 1/8" and .385".

          Their site shows different sight blades. Adding 70 thou could be done by welding/silver soldering a bit of brass on top of the existing blade and filing. Assumes you can see it and have some tools.

            JB weld may hold as well,

              Not for long, with the JB weld.
