Ikea need old design bracket that they no longer sell

Hi I have an old design pax wardrobe one of the brackets for a rail has broke. They no longer make that particular rail or bracket. The existing oval rail does not fit into the new brackets which I have ordered.
Ikea we’re very unhelpful suggested I buy a new rail. I might have to do this but wandered if anyone has any suggestions? The brackets quite big 135mm x 20mm and needs to fit sn oval rail.
Can’t find anything online. Thanks in advance

The rail is £5, so easiest is probably just to get a new one, assuming the holes for the bracket still line up.

It is possible to find other oval rail supports but I don't think they are big enough

Thanks Jon, I’ve bought that same from Amazon and as you said not big enough. Looks like I will have to buy the rail from ikea. Thanks for looking

try taking a picture of the existing good bracket and use google lens on it. You never know it just might find one for sale on ebay or whatever

Don’t have a photo of the bracket as it was plastic and completely broken

When I adjusted an Ikea wardrobe a few years ago I used a 3" square (0.75" thick) piece of wood (rounded off the edges) with a hole cut out for the rail.

Thread the rail through the hole then screw the rail to the side of the wardrobe. (edited)
