where can I get little metal "bracket" to extend the frame of my monitor?

Without making them myself. :)

Basically a monitor I have does not have a full frame, but on the corners it has the spot where you can mount it with bolts. I need some "extenders" to make it reach out another inch or two.

I could obviously make these, I don't want to. I need some very very heavy duty metal with 2 holes. 1 to mount to the monitor, and 1 to mount where I want.

It would look like this:

xxxxxxxx
xxx xxx
xxx xxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxx xxx
xxx xxx
xxxxxxxxx


well all of those x's looked good before actually posting. now after looking at them, it looks disfigured and shitty.

I did something close using metal from lowes or home depot. Found in lumber section. Building code here is for hurricanes. The brackets Im talking about may not be in your store. The stuff I found worked well and easy.

I took the plastic casing off of a 21" crt computer monitor. It looks very much like a normal monitor. some differences

anyway. the "frame" that is on this monitor, rather the holes that you would typically bolt through, are very short. I need to extend them in a sense with a couple of very very heavy duty pieces of steel with bolt holes on either end. My preference would be about 2-3" in length.
 
here are some pics of 19" frame mounts I have handy. the first one mounts to side of cab monitor goes into the threaded screw holes.

This one came out of the print club. I have the other part of the metal that mounts to the side of the cabinet. This frame slides ontop and you bolt it to that L iron piece of metal.
