Do any of you know where to get these brackets ?.

I have been to bracket.com and used their contact form sometimes now, but I have not heard anything - perhaps they think it is a joke..:-)

I have seen some on Ebay, but $28.00 for 3 brackets !!

Regards
Carsten

There's also an STL to 3D print a plastic version: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4854624

I assume that you're referring to Charles' listing (https://www.ebay.com/itm/334064566027). Short of finding some old PS/2 machine at the thrift store (where you might get a lot of parts for $20 or so), most PS/2 parts have passed into the "rare and unusual" realm. Now, if you had asked about 25 years ago, I could have stuck a half-dozen (or more) from my big bag of slot covers and dropped them in the mail for cheap. My big bag held at least 50 PS/2 slot covers, about the same number of 5150 slot covers, at least a hundred 5160/5170 slot covers, along with an assortment of various "odd ducks" that I kept when I parted out machines before they went to the scrap bin.. But all of that went away in the "great purge" of 2005 when I was supposed to part ways with IBM. Instead of leaving, I was "saved" at almost the last minute, but I had already disposed of enough equipment and parts to completely fill one of the big U-haul moving trucks (no joke). I wound up retiring on September 30, 2021, and it was one of the happiest days of my life.

I should also have saved a lot os PS/2 stuff - including my Soundblaster pro MCV
I gave my Soundblaster away with my model 80......

I will try the 3D print - the covers looks fine in IBM Blue
