Glass shelf lugs - semi-round clear plastic - 5.6mm hole

[Careful_Bodger]

SWMBO was cleaning and one of these shelf support lugs disintegrated. I cannot find anything similar on the interweb. I need 4.

The glass shelf sits within a surrounding frame on three sides. There are two lugs on the front frame and one each side. There is a quadrant cutout in the semi-round head to provide a horizontal flat for the shelf. The head diameter is 16.3mm and the vertical flat is 2.3mm thick, which seems to wedge the shelf a bit.

The pin is tapered from 5.6mm down to 5mm and the holes in the frame are 5.6mm. The pin is 9mm long.

I think the shelf came originally from John Lewis, but they seem now to just do the concealed bracket type.

Anyone know where I can get identical or very similar replacements??

Many Thanks!!

I've seen them with the metal pin for strength.

or these

All on ebay "plastic kitchen shelf supports clear"

I use chromed metal pegs.

Thanks JohnD - yes I have something like that on order fully expecting the loose-ish fit to be a source of disappointment.

I might also try these as they have a nifty-looking spring section. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Glass-Sh...-Ø-5mm-Hole-Upto-6mm-Glass-QTY-4/322630254423

I was ideally hoping for a like-for-like replacement. Fussy, eh

How's this for a temporary solution?
