Weight saving is for gays. Real men build STRONG cars. The stronger it is the harder you can drive it before it breaks.

You wouldnt last 5 minutes in my class. Id ask you to tell me the chemical element to the left of iron on the periodic table and send you out when you didnt know thew answer.

sorry but i totally disagree with this.

8mm plate steel like rob is using is ideal.

3mm will bend. FULLSTOP

5mm may bend. possibly not so much as 3mm, but with the forces involved i wouldnt be playing with my life on it.

im a mechanical engineer, and my job consists of daily fabricating, modifying, examining and assessing large scale agricultural equipment on a farm 12,000+ acres. :( the following is my input and views which can be discussed, riduculed and such like.

remember that modifying such an integral part of the car is a job that has to be done right otherwise could lead to a disaster!

8mm steel would be adequate, 10mm or 12 a bit over the top but at the same time nowt wrong with it (other than extra weight!).

as for bolting them down, you would have to mount from below the turret to work properly, and possibly another plate on top, like a sandwich. 5mm would be fine for this.

i wouldnt use any bolts or kits that use less than M10 bolts rated to 8.8 preferably 10.9.

any welding should be carried out by a skilled blacksmith/fabricator who will know what size of weld seams to run and can garuantee that any welding wont crack under the stresses and vibrations!

for the likes of most things to do with modifying im not very anal, but important things like this its best to make sure its done right!
