Home and Auto Question for the car guys

Junk yard or pull the old one out and use it as a pattern to fabricate a new one out of metal. From the pick, fabricating wouldn't look to be that hard with a vise, drill and dremel tool. You could probably go to the hardware store and buy a "L" bracket if you don't have any scrap lying around and use that as a base. I don't see the point of the saw tooth across the top, other than to rake your knuckles.

Get yourself a curtain rod bracket, the ones for the cheap rods that you'd hang a sheer from or something... like this:

drill a hole in the side without the wings and screw it down...

take a piece of wire and wrap it around the clips to keep them from slipping out your bracket.
