Kitchen under mount sink brackets

[1010]

We have a 2016 Cardinal, the flimsy metal brackets holding the under mount sink are no longer keeping the sink tight up against the countertop. I removed all 5 brackets and straightened them out to the original design, thought I solved the problem as the sink was now up tight against the countertop. A few hundred miles later the sink is dropping below the countertop again. The problem is the brackets, anyone else have this problem?

Lots of better clip alternatives, just choose what works best for you. https://www.google.com/search?q=rv+u...unting%20clips

NMWildcat,
Thanks, found clips that look like the ones I have, checking for measurements. Hope these clips are stronger.

Great! Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I have replaced 3 out of the 5 under mount sink clips. I doubled the clips (hope this makes the clips less likely to bend and using a flat washer with a lock nut. I was able to get the sink up tight to the counter top using the lock nuts, much better then the wing nuts. The middle rear clip is tight and almost impossible to get to so I will probably leave that one as is. The right rear clip is a real challenge but doable and would be pretty easy if I can figure out how to remove the top drawer. I am going to post the drawer removal problem on an additional post. Thank you all for your assistance.
