Help with brackets for garage shelves

MACKEM99

Hi

I have some racking shelves in my garage which fit together with a small flat plate to put one set on top of the other.  We used some in the greenhouse singly but now want to move 2 lots back to the garage but cant find the plates that connect the two together so to speak.  They have a gap which is narrower at one point which you then tap down to make the "lug" fit into the smaller gap.  I have tried to search for them but cannot find them anywhere.  Can anyone help please?

Thanks

The bracket is inside the frame there are 2 on each corner, if you look at the part below the shelf.

These are separate lugs? 
How do they work - do the clip into the holes in the side panels, and act as shelf supports, the shelves then sit on them?
Is there a label on the shelves anywhere to indicate a make?
Does that photo show one of them in situ? If so, could you remove it a photo it separately, please?
Good chance a Google Image search, or even 'metal shelf support bracket'* or similar will quickly find it.
Anyhoo, photo pleeeeez

* That search comes up with lots of possibilities, but it's hard to say which one it is.

They clip onto the corner brackets 2 each corner and create a hold between lower and upper bracket.  The are 96mm tall and 30mm wide.

Thanks. It only marginally helps, tho', as the pictures are blurred, and I still don't fully understand what they do - I cannot relate them to the earlier pic of the shelves. (An attempt at Google Images led me to lots of sites about guns and militaria...)

Could you take a crisp pic, please, also showing it in situ - showing what it does?

And no IDing marks on these shelves?

They took into the rear side of the uprights to tie them together. 

You could just get a basic bracket or other flat piece of metal, drill, and bolt to both uprights.

I think I know what you mean but feel it's very unlikely you are going to be able to get spares - you'll need to improvise something.

A length of aluminium angle ~100mm long. One on each corner, drilled & bolted to the uprights.

A 400mm length of 25x25x2 for £6.40 on ebay, plus some nuts & bolts.
