What are they called and where can I get more? Some of mine seem to have either gone missing or were never there.

Not exactly the same, but probably will do the job - there are plastic shelf supports that look similar to this (instead of being round there is a section where they are flat to support the shelf). I would look for them at hardware stores.

Hi, I saw these advertised on eBay, though it might be worth changing the nails for something in stainless. eBay also show a range of alternatives but many don't include the actual dimensions so it might be a bit hit and miss before you get the right ones.

Thanks both of you. I couldn't find a  perfect match, but close enough. I replaced the nails with stainless ones.

In the process of installing them, I worked out why the factory left them off - the lids weren't perfect fits for some of the lockers, especially under the aft cabin berths. Had to sand 1-2 mm off some of the spacers' bases so they would fit well. Sloppy work! ;)
