What thickness are your 12 string bridge plates? Are yours thicker or are they the same as your 6 string guitars?

I use the same thickness, .090" but extend the width by .250" from normal.

Disclosure: I've only built one 12 string and it's less than 60 days old. When folks submit recommendations, it would be helpful if we knew such information.
