*EDIT* In the picture I added, you can see the two long tubes sticking out the back go under the rear crossbar tube. Just looking for the best way to weld up that intersection.
For full strength you will need to use brackets that allow a long enough weld area and apply the forces to the whole tube.
Not sure of the loads involved and your overall design. Any special reason why weren't they made an integral part of the chassis?
