The replies are listed below.
The part is evidently known as the "spud" or "staple". Of the folks that listed
a price, $35 was the lowest for a single unit.
I got two different part numbers. One turned up this on a spare parts page at
the Sun web site:
KIT,SPUD BRACKET STAPLES #560-2229
Three others gave the part number 540-3024, that is evidently in the Field
Engineer's Handbook. It didn't turn up on a search of Sun's main web site.

Rick,
My Field Eng Handbook shows a 1" Spud Bracket part number 540-3024 that attaches to the drives. It says this fits all the 4.2GB, 9.1GB drives that are specified. The 20 drive chassis is 540-2831. Hope this helps...
David
