Tearing my hair out looking for these...
Discussion
I've recently bought a whole bunch of racking and need a number of these shelf supports to complete it. I've searched in multiple places online to find them but can't find anything even remotely like them.
Does anybody know where you can buy these or something similar? They're 90cm long and hook over the shelf struts at either end and the beam supports the wooden shelf which rests on these. They were originally made by Bosal. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Nearest thing I can see is this, they might have a way to sell the supports separately: http://racking-uk.net/products/18mm-chipboard-with...
Call Bosal and ask? or are you looking for second hand kit?

They remind me of market stall parts. Something like the four bars to the right of the awning in this picture. Although these are a little too long.

Perhaps one of the market stall manufacturers would have something? They all seem to have single ended bars with that sort of fitting.
Other alternative might be to have some made. They look to my untrained eye like tubing with flattened ends. Couldn't be too hard to make or have made depending of course on what sort of weight you're expecting them to support.

I did think it might be an idea to make them but I'm definitely not well equipped to do it and the materials may cost a bit anyway. The market stall parts are maybe a good place to look, they don't need to hold a huge weight over them. I was thinking adjustable bars would work if they just had the hook like bits at the end but can't seem to find anything.

It does indeed look like tubing with flattened ends - why not try a local steel fabricators to have them made? Anywhere with a fly press and tooling to suit would be able to knock them out pretty easily?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Market-stall-frame-/2015...

I'll get a quote from one then. I'd imagine they'll be able to source the tubing without any difficulty.We sorted out our racking flex problems by using plastic strapping ratcheted up to hold the beams tight to the shelves.
If you're putting a lot of weight on, maybe use steel strapping.
I'm finding these days that buying new or unused racking, is better value, because it saves loads of time, works as intended and of course saves on hair loss.

noted. I saved a huge amount as the racking was an absolute steal so wouldn't begrudge paying for new shelf supports but as an Aberdonian at heart I am honour bound to at least try and get it cheaper.If you're putting a lot of weight on, maybe use steel strapping.
