I'm looking for a pair (or three, or four) capacitor mounting brackets.

These are the type used with typical oil filled caps where they come up the sides and bend back down to hold the top lip of the can.

The last ones I received were kind of a weak construction, having as the 'hooks' that hold the can down, two fingers. (see picture)

I am looking for some that have one wide "finger" more like a tab, and are themselves wide, at least 1" preferably 2"

The issue is that the ones with two thin fingers will straighten out under a moderate load and slip off the can's lip. A wide tab won't.

I am clamping a can-type power supply to a side plate, and it weighs more like 5-6 lbs, heavier than a capacitor. (see pic)

The rectangular can is 6" tall, so a useful clamp+bolt length would be about 6.5"

Thank you!
