  These are called "tinnerman clips" (not sure about the spelling).
Suppliers like Grainger or Newark Electronics will likely have them,
but don't expect them to be cheap...just a plain 19" rack from places
like this can run over $2000.

  I get mine from surplus dealers, usually attached to racks. :)
