Metal Fabrication after advice

[TheSmiler]

I've got some projects that I'm currently involved in making a seat for one of my k100, plus side pannels and a rack. Also doing some other diy custom seats. Now I was wondering anyone able to help on what thickness metal I'd be best getting. I was going to order a large sheet that I can put in the garage and cut pieces off be cheaper than getting smaller offcuts.

Are the diy custom seats going to be bicycle saddle style?

I assume seat base?

About 1mm. Less and you need to flare/bead it to maintain strength. More and it's a pig to shape.

What makes you think sheet metal is the best material for a seat, side panels and a rack?

What tools do you have access to, and what type of metal are you after?

Also what metal?

3mm of steel isn't close to 3mm of tin.
