Mine are 4mm steel and still flex ever so slightlyDo you know or is that a guess? 6mm PC has very little flex especially over just 500mm width so 10mm would be good was my thought. Its impact resistant and doesnt crack and for the little flex it will have would hopefully help in a crash.
Amazed your bending 4mm steel plate. The mounts I had in the black car in 3mm steel plate were solid

Not really worth it I don't think.Well thats part of what I'm thinking I dont want to make the frame too strong without a roll cage as the seats are designed to deform in a crash and roll you over to the center of the car if you have a side (lamp post) impact
