Everyone keeps asking for the installation brackets, we keep getting part numbers that are rarely the same. i pasted them all in the search bar (one at a time) and came up with NOTHING. you are losing a lot of potential sales because we cant find the brackets. wouldnt it be smart to have a link to all the brackets RIGHT THERE on the page for the rack??? or at least post a link here in the answers instead of part numbers that leads us nowhere.
The part number for the brackets is listed on our website, part 72057-1323. They are not shown on our website however. I do apologize for that. You will need to call in to place an order for them. Our Customer Service Team can be reached at 1-800-745-6037 ; 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (EST) Monday - Friday and they would be happy to help you.
