Last time I needed a few brackets for Spur double-slot shelving I found

ground in the big DIY places - anyone know which, if any, of the big

I know there are some on ebay but only need a couple so ship cost is a
bit high.

Wickes do an equivalent, as do Screwfix at a slightly cheaper price if you
can get up to minimum order. Compatibility with real Spur is one way only
due to the uprights being a bit shallower in depth - so new shelf brackets
work with Spur uprights, but real Spur brackets bind in new uprights. This
applies to Wickes and Screwfix - don't know if anyone else is making a
closer duplicate to old Spur uprights. None of it is quite as good as older
real Spur - which started life as a shop fittings system - but a lot better
than alu systems
