Thread: Defender 110 rear pull out drawer

Ok so today I had a chance to knock up the draw, Its not done yet just need to fit the lock and upholster the front panel, but I think you can get the picture.It came in at 690mm wide 1070mm long and 160mm deep . total hours 5 from start to finish.

Also knocked up a stainless steel rubber edge strip seen on the last pic to replace to steel L/R one. I may have knocked up an extra while I was at it , let me know if anyone wants it

Looks good
I am looking at building mine soon but thought about 2 drawers with a centre vertical 10ply to eliminate sag altogether.
Anyone find the 2 drawer way is too narrow??

Thinking this way I can make 3 divided boxes in one side to keep it in order for longer and possibly setup the gas burner and sink in the other.

About to go into the garage, stare at the back of mine, do some chin-scratching... thinking of doing the same thing. Post pics when complete!

So after talking to a few mates on the weekend, they hit me up to make them some draws. Being that I’m very busy I have come up with the idea of making just the shells and leave the rest of the assembly and drilling up to the individual.

Basically you would get a draw shell and an outer shell just like in the pic, no sliders and no timber. All you would need to do is drill the holes and screw it all together. I have the site where the draw sliders would be bought , the timber could be bought from the local hardware . the size would be 1000 L x 690 W and 155 H .Tools needed are a drill and a saw .

I would also include all the timber cutting sizes needed to achieve the same result as mine .

Il need to make at least 10 to make it worth while . I have come up with an initial cost which is quite cheep. Let me know if there is any interest and I’ll start a thread in the for sale section .



Rear or door end of the draw


Back end or cabin end of the draw , I made it this way for heavy braking saves the timber getting ripped off . As you can see the sliders i bought were too long , 1015mm would have been better .

Good work that man

Depending on price could be interested

If only you had published this a few weeks ago. Just got a Black Widow draw system myself. Would have definitely been interested. Great work though, you shouldn't have any problems getting the numbers.

Likewise, price dependent I would be interested. Nice work on the design and build.
