What I want is the version with only a single line of slots - not

I've never seen this. I've seen it in aluminium, but not in steel. If
you over-load the aluminium, then there's also a nasty failure where
the top lug on the bracket fails - not hard to do either.

Yes, I know the alloy stuff, and yes, it is much weaker than the steel
stuff. The steel is about 1/8" thick so it's plenty strong.

Nearer 1/16" actually, but it's still very good.
Spur went out of business a few years ago, but most places (B&Q,
Screwfix et al) sell compatible twin slot stuff - I must admit that I
haven't seen your single-slot stuff for a while.

I've never had failures with pseudo (or real) Spur "double-slot"
bracketry carrying zillions of books, amplifiers, turntables and so on
- even a large CRT gryrivfvba set at one time (on 24" (or thereabouts)
brackets)!
