For Structural applications like that, I would recommend our
ET515 Semi Flexible 15min Professional Epoxy Adhesive
due to its high flexural strength under shock and vibration.
However, I would NOT recommend a simple butt and fillet joint like in the picture. You would definitely want a larger surface area and also overlapping fibres or material for strength. You could wrap the joints with carbon tape or have inserts bonded across the join to strengthen the join.
