The support bracket comprises a support member having opposing sidewall surfaces that upwardly extend from a base portion. A bracket insert, having a bottom wall extending distally from a sidewall, is positionable within a passageway formed within a bottom surface of the base portion to thereby lock the support bracket in position within the tray.
