I usually pretty good at sourcing things, but this one has eluded me. I’m looking for a flat mounting bracket with holes to fit M4 screws. Something like this would be ideal, but even just a flat plate with two holes maybe 14 or so mm apart would be fine, even if it does not have any slots. More than 2 holes is acceptable but not strictly necessary. This particular one I linked is for smaller screws, so it won’t work for my application. Aluminum is preferred, steel is acceptable. Price under $0.50 ea is preferred. Any suggestions?
Honestly at this point I would probably suggest creating the plate yourself. You could get the proper thickness metal, cut it to size, and drill the proper size holes. I don’t know what your situation is so this might not be feasible, but it’s just something I wanted to point out.
More directly relating to your question, I found this: https://rarecomponents.com/store/perforated-flat-metal-strips/0204
In case you wanted to know, the way I found it was searching up “metal hole strips 4mm” and scrolling through the options
That’s very close to what I need. I but I need a US vendor. As for making them, yes it’s simple, but I’m looking for an off-the-shelf part.
If can you find what you need only with smaller holes, it’s easy to drill out to the larger diameter…

Excellent. Totally forgot about this place. Aside from the price, that’s exactly what I need. But, under $1 each, that’s workable. For anyone else who stumbles across this thread, I’m still interested if something cheaper/thinner exists for M4 screws. Perhaps something similar to the Keystone Electronics brackets from Digikey, but flat.
The AndyMark S3 Joiner Gusset is more expensive at $1.40/each, but is thinner (.090" thick 5052 Aluminum):
