3D model of the part and print a few of them for testing.
Here's a pointer to mine:

The two holes in the base take screws to mount to the rack. Depending
on left vs right, you would drill and tap the indentations on one side
or the other.
I could swear there was a recent (in the last year) conversation with
Michael Thompson and others about this on VCForum, but it must have been
before the VCForum site moved, as the search tool didn't find it.
Anyway, the original is bent bar stock, with notching near the apex, and
a nut press-fit/spot welded where I've drawn an indent. I've drawn it
as a triangular plastic block in an effort to make it more structural.
A recessed screw in the KC8-A screws into the nut from the bottom to
attach the panel on each side.
