If it is 60's house they are probably imperial size too. Get your wallet out they are one of the most expensive bricks on the market and possibly the worst...they are so bad it is against building regs to use them below DPC.. and you get about a 3rd decent ones out of each pack.

LBC flooded the market with em back then, and can charge what they like for them noe because they know people such as yourself need them to match up....fookers

Just looked again and missed that picture where ya measured the depth. They are not imperial but metric so thats a plus, but still shit and expensive...

Any Buildbase should be able to get them...
