    Sorry, but I've been here for MANY years and don't know what a "side carrier" is. Please explain.

    Could you possibly be referring to a caddy for an optical drive???

    Thanks

    It is the piece that allows you to attache the odd shaped side of you optical drive to the caddy. I hope that makes sense.

    Pretty sure it's a Cf 28. As that's the model he's been asking about in other posts.

    I tried multiple ways to insert the picture here. I couldn't do it. Look at the picture under my user name and see if this makes sense.

    I think he means the bracket with the red letters on the right side of the picture.

    It will be hard to find, man! unless somebody screwed up their module. But anyway, You can fabricate one of those, not really a nice one as long as the screw will fit on it it will be fine though.

    Use the tin from an old optical drive. The holes will already be there.Just drill em bigger. If you're not any good at fabricating, send me a message. I am sure I can make that item.
