Probably a try square, scriber and micrometer as well.
Bit of flat tin bent at 90' on the outside, drill and rivet to keep together. You could experiment with how you cut the pipe to help the joint. To cut down on materials you could even cut half the pipe lengthways 35mm from the ends and lap joint them with a bolt.

If yer not fussed about kinking the pipe, bend it and kink it, drill through the pipe 3 inches out from the kink on both sides, thread through some string and pull tight to keep at right angles. No expense!

Blow torch, get it just melting, stick it together

Deflector plate on til spreader had rotted through messing up spread pattern
Lick bucket lid carefully cut to size with penknife
Pop riveted in place (sorry new - not found a way of reusing them!) and back in action
12ac later & still like new - a permanent bodge!
