Other Calgary meetup - small piece of angle iron?

I inherited a family member project. A bracket part for NIB outdoor furniture was missing. Cant find anything suitable online, but relatively easy for me to machine a replicate from 'L' angle-iron (steel) 2" x 2" x 1/8" thick. Its 30mm wide so a 3" long cutoff would be perfect. Let know if you have something to toss in the car for Meetup for me to buy or swap & save me a trip to Metal Supermarket.
 
Thanks Bandit! Hopefully I'm using proper terminology. This is what I'm after. The actual part is 3mm thick & was bent 90-deg to make the profile but I figure this more common IMP stock would work fine once I'm done with it.

Ah good point. Maybe @Bandit meant to lop off what I need right there? Ya, if @RobinHood can loan me a bandsaw cut, it would be much appreciated. Normally I'd say I'll just bring my hacksaw but I managed to mangle both wrists a day before departing for vacation. 3 weeks later now the bruising & swelling has finally subsided but still a bit tender. A Darwin Award story for another day.
 
Not a problem in anyway, just was not sure what you had for cutting, piece will be about 3ft. long +/-. Welcome to it all.
