I used 1/4" on those. I cut it out on the drill press with a 2" holesaw. On lighter duty stuff I use 1/8" plate, like shock mounts and stuff.
Right now I'm using a pipe bender to do small bends (up to 35 degrees) on heavy wall tubing. But its very limited. Ther larger radius bend I had done at an exhast shop.
I'm in the middle of building a full hydraulic bender in my machine shop right now.
