Don't see why not. Provided the rest is solid.
Personally I wouldn't bother though. They're cheep enough to buy anyway.

You could but would need to sleeve it so it's stronger than just butting 2 bits of pipe together. I just welded some pipe into the chassis (it goes right through the chassis rail) then cut out, drilled and folded the bracket on the end and welded it on. It should be in my build thread, there's a link to it in my signature.
As has been said though, it may be better for you to purchase a replacement part.

You could but it would need to be right as it's a safety concern. Providing the pipe part of it is sound you could use a piece of box but the whole bracket will need to be one piece, just cutting the top off and adding another bit on is no use, in a crash it will just break the weld. You will also need a decent wall thickness, if I remember right 50x50 box is too small as the O/D of the pipe is 48mm.
