Ali-Express? - wurm - 09-22-2021
I'm having a heck of a time finding a bracket locally. It doesn't have to be exactly like the one pictured below (I'd be fine with holes instead of long slots), but the dimensions are right. The only place online i can find it reasonably cheap is Ali-Express. I don't think I've ever ordered from them, and the 2 month shipping is a pain, but what do you think? Any reason not to try them? Here's the bracket, in case you know of any better sources.

Thanks, folks.
ztirffritz, I'm guessing that getting one custom made and shipped overnight would be a bit more than the 3 bucks and change it would cost me from Ali-Express.
MikeF, your second link may prove to be the best option if i want it a little quicker, but I only need one of them, not 4.
I don't mind potentially throwing away $3 on an experiment that may not work. Less happy about wasting $12.

Too small:

IF said part actually has to ship from China it could well take more than two months simply due to the massive backlog of container ships waiting to dock and be unloaded.

Perhaps something like this from HD or lowes , or your neighborhood hardware store:
corner bracket

If only it were that easy. That's the concept, but I need one short side and one long side. And I've already tried bending on of those to no avail.
Re: Ali-Express? - Cary - 09-23-2021
Why not just buy a long one and cut one side to the length you need?

I may well end up doing that. For some reason I thought it would be a simpler thing to find.
