Subject: Nickel/Hard Gold thickness

I need to be sure of the Nickel/Hard Gold thickness to be specified on our drawing. We use hard gold on a slip ring pcb that has brushes riding over the conductive surface, so soldering is not the issue. I read through the hard gold vs immersion gold thread. Is 150 microinches of Nickel and 5 microinches of Gold sufficient?

Thanks,
