Default Parking Brake Shoe Thickness

I was wondering if anyone knew the thickness of new parking brake shoes?

I know that they are fairly thin,, You got to remember, the brakes you are used to seeing are used to slow a vehicle, the parking brake is only meant to hold it, It is not designed to maintain friction, so it does not need to be thick as normal pads and shoes are.
