Most tube will be fine for the job and stronger than original, most important thing for me is to get the extension welded true the last thing you want is to have the column turning eccentrically. Fit the rack and column then tack the extension in-situ and rotate the column to make sure it's true. If you need to remake the mounts then use the opportunity to change the rubbers to better ones, land rover mounts, the existing mounts do tend to perish with age.
