I would use 4mm plate with suitable gussets for the cradle.

But a lot of people would probably recommend 6mm.


If you are bending the tube it will probably need to be a minimum 4mm thick in 3" diameter.

Mine is 4mm cradle with 2" x 4mm bent tube and it doesn't budge for anything.

Just my thoughts.
