That was my guess. I'm just hoping to hear something like "2x2x1/8 will

Anybody who really knows the answer is not too likely to give you the
all clear over the internet. Too many idiots out there. Not to mention
there may be some reasons why the original designer chose angle iron.
(other than hot rolled angle is the absolute cheapest per pound material)
And anyone who thinks they know the answer without seeing the design,
probably doesn't.
