I'd like to find these idiots that make plastic supporting brackets.
Plastic is not a durable material, and either fails from weight, or
from decay, and that wont be long. Get some steel brackets and you
wont have to mess with it again. Society is going backwards. They
used to make durable materials. Now everything is junk plastic crap.

Plastic decays? Does Greenpeace know of this?

I have some shelves with plastic supports for 20 years that are still
perfect. You'd be amazed at the properties of some plastics. And they
don't rust or corrode.



Yeah, I could have spun up the lathe and made a brass part in a few
minutes, but figgered if the first one had lasted since we built the
place 19 years ago I was justified in using one of the matching
originals. If the replacement lasts as long before it breaks (and I'm
still breathing.) I will make a metal one then. G
