Porta Bracket Backing Plates

I need to make some backing plates for my Porta Bracket. I don't know if these brackets come with backing plates when new, but I got mine used without them. I plan to buy some aluminum plate off eBay. Any suggestions on thickness?

I like using g10, no corrosion! And easier to work than aluminum..

Nice option, Chris. Where do you get it from? How is it price wise compared to aluminum?

Ebay has any size/thickness you want. I used 1/4". Not sure how it compares pricewise...
