Yes. HOWEVER, the trick is to turn this piece sideways (so that the
normal "back" is on the bottom), then put a plate on top. If you do
that, the height is one brick, there is a stud AT THE BOTTOM EDGE of the
face, and the stud is flush with the face. This BOTTOM FACE stud, when
on top of a 1x1 technic with pin, gives you two studs in the vertical
plane that are spaced the proper stud to stud spacing to mate with a
regular brick, or in this case, a thinwall. There's still a problem
though...
SOMETHING has to hide the fact that when turned sideways, this 1x1 with
side stud is wider than the width of a normal brick.... I'd vote for
putting it on the inside and having the plate it mates with protrude out
to the car wall.
