I actually rigged it by taping wooden skewers to the ends to make it wider and it will def work although very ghetto. I'll run in for the 2 weeks I need it but then might just return them and just buy the replacement one. I got the cooler used so It was missing a rack. But the racks I got would be good to add an additional shelf like we are talking about if you just use some "L" type brackets and just lay these shelves on them.
