I was thinking along the lines of 15-20mm thick & 6" deep for my f type? Thats just a guess imagine they want to be fairly deep to aid cooling.
I replicated the cast bars in steel - so I think they are 20mm thick with 3mm tabs welded to them. I know some who have gone thinner so that the bars themselves are lighter when trying to remove and re-fit but have increased to number of bars in the grate.
