Thickness of Plate on the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23102

Question

Question:

Im planning to use these to mount something other than an axle, and need to know how thick the plates are. The items I want to hold together are 1.5inch by 3, and the bolts might be too short for my needs if the plate is too thick. Can you help? Thanks!
