Without actually measuring,I'd guess that they're about 13mm.
One side is smooth,the other is a star-plate pattern as you might see with aluminum pickup truck tool boxes which straddle the bed rails.(CRAFTSMAN/TRACTOR SUPPLY)
The nose on the T-100 is 'oval',almost a semicircle in plan-view,which gives a lot of rigidity without any reinforcement.
