2013 regulations governing the endplates?

Post

Can any body point me towards the regulations regarding the rear wing end-plates for 2013?

I don't see any regulations governing the thickness?
3.10.8 In side view, the projected area of any bodywork lying between 300mm and 950mm above the reference plane and between the rear wheel centre line and a point 600mm behind it and more than 355mm from the car centre line must be greater than 330000mmΒ².
Assistance appreciated

3.5.2
The width of bodywork behind the rear wheel centre line and more than 150mm above the reference plane must not exceed 750mm.

3.9.2
No bodywork situated between 50mm forward of the rear wheel centre line and 150mm behind the rear wheel centre line, and which is between 75mm and 355mm from the car centre line, may be located between 400mm and 730mm above the reference plane.
-> 750mm/2 - 355mm = 20mm in the area mentioned in 3.9.2
Dear FIA, if you read this, please pm me for a redesign of the Technical Regulations to avoid finger nose shapes for 2016! :-)

So 20mm then. OK.
