Questions about XL Grate Rack & use with nest handler

First, my BGE dealer says that BGE no longer makes grate racks. Is this true? Did they ever or was it always an aftermarket item?
second, I have a nest handler which uses the holes that would normally be used by the grate handler if they were side or rear mounted. Does anyone with an XL and Nest Handler have a picture with the racks mounted on the side for me to see? I'm curious to know if you had to drill holes between the two screws on each side of the nest handler mount or below them.
I managed to pick up one of these racks at my local dealer but he says he can't get anymore. So for now, I'm just using it on the front. The problem with this is that it blocks the vents and of course, I can burn myself with a hot rack more easily. I would like to mounted on the side and get another one for the other side as well.

Drill a hole right below the handler attachment. They are an aftermarket piece by innovations by Chance. Readily available. Along with many other neat gadgets.
