The extruder carriage is one of those pieces you are supposed to bend, and I don't have a metal brake. So I just modified it into two pieces joined with a finger joint and glued them together with jb-weld. It seems quite strong. Not 100% square, but that's just due to inappropriate clamping.
I don't see why you couldn't do the same thing with the dreaded 2.x gantry ends. If I recall, you would need to do 3-pieces instead of 2.
