The ones mentioned at wanban.com are probably about what you need, the
trick is to find one with exactly the right height. Digikey has one
3000K-ND that includes a couple of mounting holes that you could fit it
with a spacer to make it the right height. Kinda kludgy, doesn't include
any restraint for lateral movement, needs more bracketing for that. Or, I
can imagine another piece of metal that sets the height and restrains it
the way a wanban would. :/ I don't like it much but it'd work in a pinch.

The wanban pages loads a tad slow because it's in China. Shipping from
Digikey might be weeks faster. :) Their friggin web page also locked up my
NN which is quite uncommon lately with V7. :(

Have a :) day!
