Westy's secondary draw build.

[BigRAWesty]

So as much as I love the outback draws in the gu..........
By geeze I would never spend $3000 on em.. they are tiny and a huge waste of space.. But with the child restraint in built they are better than a full custom draw..
So due to lack of space I've had to build a vertical pantry...
It's a fridge enclosure and draw next to it.
So a sheet of ply and a bit I now have a pantry..
I splashed out and went runners with this draw due to its height as it would have fallen out with just nylon runners..
The bottom shelf is 260 high so a bottle of sauce fits... and a 6 pack of beers....
Draw is 250 wide and 760 long..
Still to carpet and fit handle, then fit angle alloy to the sides to secure it to the draw tops..
But close..

Now it's all together I'm thinking 200 mm wide probably would have done the job..
But it's done now.. no turning back..

Will have it at roofys

If you're looking for an awesome carpet product take a look at Vertiface. It's made by an Oz company called Autex - you can get it Viz eBay at about $29 a metre. It's the stuff that is used for covering speaker enclosures and so on.
I have nothing to do with the company, I just used this stuff to cover my drawer build and am really happy with it!

Well I guess I better finish this post off..
To mount the box to the top of the outback draws I simply added 4 bits of stainless sheet angle to each corner..
I used 5mm counter sunk bolts which anchored threw the slides, and 6mm bolts where it cleared..
Carpeted and the in she goes.
After thinking 250mm wide was maybe too much I'm glad I went it..
It fills up quite quickly when you have to put everything in it..
