I checked the bracket price on MOL just a few minutes ago, and it was
$66.73, but that's still a chunk of change.

Since the owners of the sites where I have repeaters will not allow wooden
spacers or cabinet parts, I suggest a low-cost alternative.  McMaster-Carr
and other suppliers offer threaded steel hex standoffs up to four inches in
length, for about six bucks apiece.  Four of these standoffs might be the
appropriate solution for mounting a duplexer with an offset.  The part
number 92230A150 seems to be a good choice.  It is 4" long, and has 10-32
female threads on each end.

<-for future reference, the big M wants $77 for it these days.

I'll figure out something else for that price!
