    That was a fun little search...

    National parts depot has the parts you need to install a 2nd hard drive in your A130/A135 laptop.

    The part numbers are:
    Left and right brackets primary bay: K000043760 and K000043770
    Left and right brackets secondary bay: K000045800 and K000045810

    $5 (US) per bracket, so $10 total.

    If you don't find them on the website: National Parts Depot
    1-800-534-8338 ext. 2314 for Roxanne.

    I called got the part number and was told to order off the web because of a $25 min phone order. OK, I don't mind... the parts were not on the site. I called back Roxanne said no problem. Toshiba has them in stock so I should have my new brackets in 7-10 days. Now I just need to order a drive.


    Hope that helps someone.

    Yes I did it with the rails I listed. It was easy as pie. A couple screws in each rail into the drive. Open the HDD bay and slide the drive into place. The hard disk was recognized on boot. It works great.
