My visit to an LBC, my first in years, wasn't TOO strained but I now remember why LBC visits rank right after root canals and prostate exams. As you might guess, I came home empty-handed.

Looking more likely. The Wald structure allows for 4-7/8" left to right so a new rack needs to be no wider than that, looking at Amazon (the easy way out) showed no racks meeting that criterion, or at least stating so (one rack said dimensions were 4"x4"x4"???) Maybe I'll go to REI (which recently closed near here so I have to drive further), taking a tape measure along. Or I could cut the two baskets apart and fab up some new connection to hang them off a rack... ugh.
