I don't know if 6082-T6 would be enough. 7075-T6 is much harder and about twice as strong. It's definitely suitable but this does not mean other alloys are not. For this part you need excellent strength (and hard anodizing) because it has a thread, and you don't need to weld it so 7075-T6 is probably the better choice.
