Here's the link to the Mar-K set http://www.mar-k.com/Catalog/index.aspx?LID=2514
I thought the metal pieces came already welded to the cross braces.

Re: Bed cross sill BRACKETS and pads
...or fab the brackets with a vise and a hammer and make the pads out of any kind of rubber. The brackets are important because they keep the cross sills from spreading, and rubber or metal shim added to the pad here and there helps level the tops of the cross sills if necessary, so don't leave home without 'em!
