Best bet might be to go with a size that your local metal stock-holder is going to have plenty of, so something like 3mm thickness 25mmx25mm box. Should be plenty strong enough to take weight of seat and driver, and thick enough not to distort when drilling bolt holes or welding on flanges.

Will be relatively heavy though.
