jmozz,

Looks to be in an inch measurement, so just a touch over 7/16 x just a touch under 5/32 for the Australia sized bricks. Or just a touch over 3/8 (0.394) x just a touch over 5/32 (0.172) x a touch under 1/8 (0.123) for vbsltco's brick. now if you want those into cm or mm I'd go to http://www.worldwidemetric.com/metcal.htm and punch in the numbers and let it convert them for you. Or you could line them out as rectangles 7/16 x 5/32 or 3/8 x 1/8 and if you like the way they look go from there.

Take Care,

Jack

9 inches = 228.6 mm 228.6 mm/20.3 = 11.26 mm

.443 inches x 25.4 mm per inch = 11.252 mm

discrepancy are caused by rounding off

Australian bricks must have steroids added to the clay. American bricks are typically 8x31/2x21/2 inches.

Hi jmozz
Nope but I can tell you that a brick is 9" x 41/2" and 3" thick
so the bit you see in a wall is 9" x3"
is that any help?
