This old MICS that has a missing mounting bracket for the NAM any place I can buy one?
 
Just drill a hole in the casing of it and hang it from the ceiling with a peice of ground wire.


 
Run a 2 inch drywall screw in the back board leaving 3/4 inch sticking out, hang cabinet like usual, just be sure to use your level and screw it in at the bottom. I have done this many many times
 
You can also flatten a small L-bracket, then bend it with 2 opposing 90 degree angles to make a hook similar to a std bracket. This will cost pennies instead of what you will pay for a standard bracket plus you will have it faster. I find this will hold the cabinet more surely than a screw-head does (although I have used screws ats9963 has noted when I needed to get an install done)
 
I can't believe some of the replies I read on this site lately. "...hang it from the ceiling with a piece of ground wire". Are you serious?!?

Yuasa, have a little patience & do the job right. Buy the manufacturers mounting bracket. They paid some engineer a lot of money to design just the right bracket to mount the ksu. It may cost a little more, but you can be certain it will work the way it was intended.
 
8 inch lag bolts in all 4 corners...use a piece of sheet metal to firm up support on front of box....

DONT FORGET TO REMOVE DOOR BEFORE USING LAG BOLTS IT WILL CAUSE MANY HEADACHES LATER IF ACCESS IS NEEDED TO SAID BOX


PS
ITS FRIDAY... ALL BETS ARE OFF ON SERIOUS ANSWERS
 
REFURB Supplies once again with their super and personal customer service solved this problem. They have even desigend a special "custom" wall bracket that will allow you to break off the ends to accomidate any unit from the big ones to the small and still keep them in the correct space order.
