Anyone see these for a trailer?

I just bought a second enclosed trailer for work, smaller 6x12 for second truck. Anyways i bought it from the original owner and he gave me all the receipts, when he bought it from the local trailer place around us he paid extra for these aluminum mounts that hold the rubber wheel chocks. I called the dealer and even after sending pictures of the invoice from 2014 and pictures of the mounts i was told "never seen them here"
so anyone know where i can buy 8 of these?

I haven't seen them before, however they look easy enough to make. Looks like 1/8" by 2" aluminum flat stock. Just bend'em and pop rivet them on.

Have you looked on etrailer?
I have a 6x12 and a 7x14 i use for work too. I just keep the chocks inside the trailers.
I cant see them staying in place on mine with the way the roads are around here.

I was going to make them but ive never ever had any luck bending aluminum, it always stress cracks where the bend is.
also the ones on there have lazer cuts on the bend line so im assuming they wouldnt stress crack?

guy i bought it from hauled his harley in the trailer and he said they never popped out, but who knows

You need to use plate aluminum like 5052. If your using 6061 or 6063 flat bar or strap it will break.

like steel.. heat and bend.. and not a hard 90 degree... slightly rounded.. use rebar and such to bend ... even threaded rod to form the bend..
