I'm not 100% sure, but if you mean the centre to centre spacing of the studs
(and hence, the approximate width of a 1x1 plate/brick) they're either 8mm
or 5/16 of an inch (despite being from Canada, I'm inclined to believe 5/16"
is more accurate, since the rest of LEGO dimensions work out better with
5/16 as a base unit (often called 1 stud length)).
Working from this we get:
1 brick height = 6/16" / 9.6mm
1 plate thickness = 2/16" / 3.2mm
Does that help?
