Not to be stupid here,
but did your case not have proper slot covers, or did it have those thin clip in ones?
Just doing a quick search I found a plain bracket and a bracket with tabs (which can easily be cut off).

| Post subject: | Blank brackets? |
I got an awesome new Mozart case for Christmas, but I have a slight problem...our old case was a micro ATX, so our tuner cards were low profile ones that didn't come with full size brackets. Now we can't screw them in place, and they frequently come loose, causing the reception to jump around, or freezing up the entire system altogether. Does anyone know if there is some place we can get blank brackets that we can drill ourselves, or something of the sort? The only place I've been able to find them has been big supply companies that sell them by the thousand...we only need like four. Thanks for your help! |

1) Grab the cards and flatten the bend in the bracket 2) Get the full height card brackets that came with the machine, line them up with the cards, and drill a hole or two into the bit you bent 3) Shorten the full height brackets so they don't hit the circuit boards of the cards 4) Bolt or pop-rivet them together. Viola. Full-height card brackets! |

thanks! that second link was just what I was looking for. The orignal slot covers on the case were too textured to be able to use. |
