Why?

Most guideplates are bout the same thickness. If you just need spacers I've used headbolt washers.

I've got a set that came with their #1040 195 street eliminators. Give me a few to get home. I can get a measurement for you. As a sidenote I used shaft rockers, so have them new unused probably save a few bucks buying through me. Opened, used for mockup, then went with shafts. Never fired engine with the guide plates bolted on. Went right back in the bag, also have the 3/8 studs that came with the heads. Purchased late 2019.

.130" to .132" thick, as mentioned I do have the complete set with 3/8" studs. Still in afr yellow packing envelope. Used only for mockup. Figured some day I'd use them on a set of 906 vortecs I have. But if you can use them, I'll let them go for significantly less than current retail price. Pm me if you want them, I'll get pictures of them. I do PayPal goods and services, no games you will get what you pay for.
