My DIY drawers

[viking]

that is awesome, nice job, I need to custom make some of my own. cheers for the ideas.

Cool stuff. This is exactly what I like to have as well. So how come you spend in the end still around 500 because the alu construction is cheap right? Which total width did you use (with and without the left side)? And how did you attached the frame to the body of the car to prevent moving?

Nice one's, i plan to do myself something like this. But now i have to choose between wood and metal sheets.

[mrflibbles]

nice looking drawers, the frame is a great idea.

Hey mate very nice. Given me some great ideas for mine. I have a wooden set but want to make a set from alloy try n save some weight.

With that qubelok how do you secure the fittings for corners n joins etc. Looks like that stuff could be very very handy for lot of different things

the Qubelok fittings shouldn't come apart because they're a neat fit into the ali tubing and once you put a top on they wont go anywhere mat.

Not to be negative coz it's thinking outside the box,
But with the weight, vibration and movement associated with a draw system I think the plastic joints will flog out in a short time..
Even if you screw em in they will wear.

Imo if you want a no weld setup you've got either ply or buy..

does anyone make an alloy version of the joiners etc. That would be handy with a counter sunk bolt to secure it. would be perfect. I agree the plastic wouldnt last i dont think.

Like you say though. The top will hold it all together but once it wears it will rattle. I'm curious to see how they do hold up though. Ya never know might be wicked

I'm going for it.......priced the Qubelok the other day via email from Capral in cambellfield or laverton $17 plus gst for a 6.5m length heaps cheaper than bunnings.
