Mine are 5mm thick steel bar. Difficult to bend initially but sure aren't going to break...

Ive used tube, conduit as a matter of fact only cos I had a length handy and the steel place was shut. Didnt feel the need to flatten it just drilled it and rivnutted the mudguards to the mount, makes for a strong mount, strong enough to sit on my front mudguards and I'm a big lad.
Cheers,
Bob
