Something simple like this just needs the bar holding in a vice, then hammering to 90º. The width between the two down bars to match the width of the rear fender mounts, & the height to clear the top of the fender. I've found that aluminium might be rather brittle for a 90º bend, but steel works fine. A rattle can of primer, then one of top coat will give it good protection from rusting. Like I said, the box might fit straight to the brackets using nuts & bolts.
