you can never go too thick imo. the bigger the better. how long is the buss bar gonna be? how about like 1/4 inch? that should be thick enough im thinking

what bout width?? an inch??

an inch should be fine. maybe go a little thicker than 1/4 even. like i said you can never have enough but realisticlly i think 1/4 and and inch wide is fine

Somewhere between 1-1.5" wide and 1/4-3/8" thick should be fine...no reason to go bigger.
