Dave,

I don't have anything that long laying around or I'd send it to you.  I just looked again and all I have is an 8" piece of brass that's 1/8."  You may be able to find a piece in the metal rack at lowes around the welding stuff.  I've bought pieces from there that was a little more than a 1/8th.

1/8” is on the thick side for toe plates. I’ve seen originals with toe plates thinner than 1/16”. If you have trouble finding thick stuff, might give thinner a try.
