I fell back to hanger straps... I was in the garage and the installer used that stuff for my garage door motor and its been up there for over 20 years.  I figured it would work on this little transformer holding it down.  I wrapped it around the metal core of the transformer, slipped in the original screws (needed to drill the holes a bit to line up with the base), and then pitched it together at the bottom with a new screw/nut keeping it tight. 

With the savings of buying random metal parts to make another type of brace I am going to get a new power cord that has a outer cloth covering.  I found this place online that has a great selection: 8' Flat 2-Wire Cloth Covered Cord with Plug Attached - Snake Head Vintage
