Mild steel and normal MIG wire will work fine but weld in short runs well spaced apart to keep the heat down.

Also don't be tempted to use thinner steel than the original. If you operate the carrier you will scrape its belly on something sooner or later and if the something is solid it can put a huge force on the belly plate and dent it.
