You don't want to go much thicker then an 1/8" because you are going to have a very hard time mounting the transistors if you do.
What I did is bought a 6' piece of 2" x 2" stock from Ebay and had the seller cut it into lengths (which he did for free) and then cut the PCB "mounting side" to size with an abrasive disk in my dremel, laid a circuit board over the stock, marked the hole locations, zapped it with the automagic center punch then drilled the holes.
Took about 10 minutes to make each bracket.
(I made 3 sets of heatsink mounting brackets for less then $10)
Unfortunately I cannot locate that ebay seller so maybe try online metals instead?
