Yep, Another Rear Drawr Build

[Winnie]

PS Or they are different to what we have and they only lock open not lock open and closed?

Correct. Do not lock closed. There is no external lever.

Looks fantastic mate, certainly given me a few ideas for the upcoming build

Looks very neat - great job mate.

Looks awesome mate. Feel free to build me a set. I've been thinking I should build some but my woodworking skills are severely lacking

Thanks crate, my assumption also, unless they have designed a lever action which activates it on turning the T handle or made a slip type sleeve that is mounted to the draw sides and the actual slides themselves that allow the draws to slide forward enough to stick your hand in to unlock it.

Appreciated

Hi Dave,

Yeah, they are not true lock in as stated, but just sit in firmlyish and come out easily with a slight pull. I think they just sit in a little rubber notch at the end when pushed all the way in. I used the T handles with a little cleat made from ply to hold them in.

Here's a pic of a lockout one. The little tab is spring loaded and just pops out. You just push it in to put the drawers back.

You can see with this one where it sits against.

Rossco's are like mine. There is a little tab on the slider that is spring loaded and it flicks out when fully extended so you can't push the drawer shit without pressing the tab in first.
I don't have my car at the moment but can take a photo on the weekend.

Firstly appologies Winnie i missed your post offering your feedback and pics, but thanks anyway

Thanks for posting your pics Rossco, A good idea, whilst thinking about how you came up with this i had a couple of ideas i might try out if i have luck ill post them up for ya, its an easy concept to use but i need a little more time to masterming it.

Whilst im at it im going to purchase 5mm wide stainless bolts and locknuts for mounting mine. How did you guys mount the slides to the draws, self tappers chipboard screws which by your pics could be the case, im using 12mm for the draws and i dont see 10mm self tappers being good enough to hold 100kg, im thinking 5mm thick 30mm long bolts with nuts, but theyd be exposed inside the draw and carpet inside hiding the bolts, any thoughts anyone ?

Cheers

Dave

Yeah I just used 16mm self tappers and ground off the tips in the drawer. It does seem like screws are a bit under kill but thers enough holes to get quite a few in. Mine have copped a bit of abuse and still held together!! I think the full boar ones are mounted with screws also. Bolts would be good, just need to check the clearance they need to be pretty flat it all gets pretty thight.

Any screw will do really as long as it clears the runners.
But also a tip. For the top floor never screw and then carpet.
Carpet first and then screw them down. That way if you ever need to remove the draws you can find the screw again.
And once the screw are below the carpet level it fluffs up over them anyway
