urgent request for info

The missus is going to pick up some steel for me today, and I've forgotten to get a measurement for something. I intend to make the suspension pickups from short, stubby lengths of channel. I know the internal dimensions (from the Nissan rear subframe I am jigging), but I forgot to look in the Chris Gibbs book to see what gauge of steel they use for the pickups.

Anyone got any advice as to what gauge steel to use for the pickups?

To make the picture a little clearer, there are 5 pickups on each side: 3 x 51mm wide and 2 x 40mm wide (both internally)
