Does anyone other then Brother's sell these? I'm doing an LS swap and want to relocate my battery. I'm trying my best to avoid buying from them but I may have to give in.

I bought mine from brother's over a year ago, same as you, tried not to buy from them. The firsts one showed up bent out of true shape (not bad)...called and complained and they sent me another saying...keep the first one. It was not beyond re-tweaking, but I don't put up with expensive junk being sent to me that I have to fix and risk the return. So, kudos to them for replacing it without the hassle of sending back the bad one. The second one I got was in good condition, besides needing more paint for my tastes. I think places like that put added cost into the parts they sell to make up for the returns they expect. If you were in the states, I would entertain making you a good deal on the reworkable one, but shipping would probably kill it.

It wouldn't take much to fix that bent one? I dont need it to look pretty, as long as it holds my battery in place lol. Shipping wouldn't be a problem as I have a place at the border to pick stuff up.

They come up for sale here, sometimes. If you are a paying member, you can place a “ want to buy ad”.
You might scour that section, there might be an unsold one there. I bought one there.
