[RE-wrenches] Enphase J-box brackets

[JRQ]

William,

I actually prefer to use Unirac L-brackets for mounting J-boxes. Sometimes I'll use the Enphase one because it comes with the Enphase whip (and therefore I save paying $2.75 on an extra L-bracket). However, I find the L-brackets to be sturdier and less visible.

Friends:

Enphase has changed the design of the brackets they provide to support a j-box.  This is a problem because the new ones are inferior for these reasons:
1. They do not have a hole adjacent to the back of a mounted box (to the best of our knowledge).  This hole allows for the use of the back hub in a standard "bell" box.
2. They can not be mounted offset (to see the benefits and application browse to:

3. They do not accommodate one and two gang bell boxes.

I'd like to buy a quantity of these brackets.  A jpg depiction is attached.  Does anyone have surplus?

Does anyone else miss these enough to write Enphase and ask that they be reinstated into the catalog?

Thanks in advance.
