1x2's are not 1" x 2", yes, and Iain would probably chime in with how stupid
Imperial measurements are if he wasn't on vacation right now.
But your module should be:
3/8" (MDF or Ply top)
1.5" (middle skirt of 1x2" on end)
0.75" (bottom skirt of 1x2" lying flat)
Since we're on the topic, everyone buy some bolts too :)
