Thanks to dnear and ajdonnison's front work, I was able to combine remixes from their designs and create this garden hose and nozzle holder that slides/mounts directly into the slots of metal Husky shelving (I know there are plenty of other shelves that have these slots though). The mount is very functional, so much so that I'll start looking for other storage solutions using this method.

Aside from the nozzle holder/hose hook addition, the only modifications made to the actual mounting bracket were:
1) Removing the screw holes,
2) Filling the gap/hole in front of the mounting arms to sit flush with rest of bracket (aesthetics), and
3) Adding 1mm of additional gap between the mounting arms and the bracket plate to provide more tolerance for the arms to slide onto the shelving.

I've added both the .STL and Fusion 360 files for the hose hook and nozzle holder, and I've also included the base bracket mount if anyone wants a clean slate to add their own attachment to the mount!

Print instructions

Printed on my Prusa Mini with a .6mm nozzle using Prusament Galaxy Purple PLA...would have used a PETG filament but the girlfriend asked for purple sooo purple it was ;). Printed at .35mm layer height with variable layer height feature enabled in PrusaSlicer on both prints (hence the "racing stripes" on the hook) - the nozzle holster took right under 2 hours and the hook took a little over 5 hours. I used 4 outer perimeters on these just to make sure it was sturdy.

Supports: Feel free to use supports as needed - I wasn't as worried with using them, especially on the backside in the case of the nozzle mount just because it won't be visible when mounted and even with bridging layers drooping a bit, there was enough added tolerance between the mounting arms and bracket that the mounting arms will still slide into the shelving without issue.

Nozzle Mount: No Supports, printed with mounting arms down on print bed.
Hook Mount: Supports for mounting arms, printed on side.
