We have been making our own L brackets as described out of aluminum L material. It's just a pain and it's much fun when you're not dead on accurate lining up the holes.

Why not machine/cut the end of the tubing square (the piece butting up against a frame member), then put a small triangular plate on each side as a gusset, then rivet it all together. Many teams have done this well, specifically 2056 this year.
