Replace posts in rack enclosure?

A friend of mine found a full size rack enclosure that was going to be thrown out. It’s great, except that it only has 2 posts and has threaded holes.

The posts can be detached and I don’t see any reason I couldn’t replace them with square hole ones as long as they have the same right angle bend with holes on the side for mounting.

Anyway, question is: where can I buy standalone rack posts that I can swap in here?

Quick googling on this term plus “for server equipment”

Amongst other good options. I have no horse in this race, just wanted to paste some links in…

Got it. The rack is a mid atlantic and the spacing appears to be the same (hole to edge). Going to see if I can find a model identifier on the rack somewhere. Worst case I order it and do a return (B&H has them).
