hey josh, it depends on what kind of metal you are using; for example
aluminium plates would have to be a lot thicker than steel ones. i
think they are usually about 5mm, but im not sure, someone like spencer
or van would be able to help you out though.
more importantly you want the axle of the wheel to be thick so it
doesnt bend. 14mm bmx axles are best, but they are expensive. any axle
will be fine if you are just learning to ride, but you will eventually
bend thin ones.

hope this has been helpful,

Max

1/4" thick aluminum angle is the way to go! Make sure to get aluminum
alloy type 6061-T6. 6061-T6 is a very standard type of aluminum that
is most commonly used. It's twice as strong as 6063-T52, so don't get
them confused with each other. Feel free to ask me any other
questions.

*sigh*

if you guys knew anything, you would know that demesions are a much
bigger part in a bc plate than the material or thickness.

i used the bunnings shelving brackets that whoever was talking about and
they were fine for someone of my wieght (70kg) but you'd wanna get a
stronger axle 'cause the one i used started to bend after a few weeks
