Try your local Metal Land if you have them out West? or look on Ebay.
In relation to the length? just remember that your interested in the closed and Open length. your drawers dont need to fully open though as some should be left in the car. I have Black Widow Drawers and they leave a good 300mm in the car when fully open.
Take heaps of pics mate
The longest I can get at the moment is 550mm, without trying get some posted!
but I feel that I'll need longer! The draw will be 1000mm long!!
Hey mate,
If your desperate for them most bunnings sell them for a massively inflated price. You'll be looking at paying $300+ for a set of 800mm runners
If you can wait eBay has them much cheaper. There is a range of sizes and styles. Not sure I that helps but if u can wait u can save a fair bit of ca$h.

I just built some drawers for my GU and used 550mm runners from Bunnings @$29 bucks a pair. Seem very solid and allow the drawers to open almost all the way. I made the drawers a snug fit so by not opening the last 150mm or so, there is not a lot of weight on the runners as the back of the drawers are holding some weight. I'm really happy with them.
Galvin hardware in Osborne park!! Has all the sizes and in heavy duty!!
UES International in Malaga does 125kg rated slides in sizes upto 1000mm extension for sub $150 a pair.
