In need of Nelson CSS shelf clips!
If you have any, I could use 10 real bad. I also could use some straight tension poles as well.

Thanks for your help!

I was lucky enough to aquire a set of CSS items. It must have been in a storage room, as the pole clips were all missing. Unless someone is replicating these, I may as well start making them. Anyone want to donate a piece to blueprint? I will return it of coarse.

Golly
I can't imagine how expensive it would be to get a metal works fabricate new replacement poles for the CSS.

There IS, however, a guy selling two on eBay WITH THE PROPER FEET:

Custom extrusions don't cost THAT much
if you order reasonable quantities... But why bother, when there are similar systems (like Rakks, etc.) that you can just buy? Are there many people who have CSS shelves and cases but no poles?

I think he is talking about making just the little clips that screw onto the poles and support the shelves, not the poles themselves. I think that wouldn't be too difficult. I had to fabricate two of the ceiling spring feet for my unit and it was only a minor pain. I am in the process of making end mounts for the wall brackets which is turning out to be a major pain :(
