Bit of a basic question admittedly, but for a 9inch solid brick outer/block inner skin garage wall, are you meant to tie the skins together? Can’t see any “short” cavity ties?
Ties for 9 inch wall?

Thanks. I may as well ask another silly question then, how would headers work if I want only bricks on the outside and only blocks on the inside?

Just put a course of block on top of header course on inside. I use 200mm ties and put at slight angle as said
Headers wouldn't work in this case. Use ties.
As said, we used 220's (SS housing ties) on this garage but at an angle and bedded right up to the hilt. No cavity means not having to leave the drip stagger over the cav'.
