Thread: PROJECT 1, modular draw and sleeping area

Use some lino or some vinyl, easy to keep clean !!! might be a bit slippery though. Another idea is a rubber based paint, similar to that sound deadening paint you put on the underneath of a car.

And keep us informed :wink:

Hi folks, after ordering the wrong hatch Flush Pulls handles I’ve now got the correct ones now and managed to get a bit more done.

The original Flush Pulls I had ordered were not spring loaded.

Having spring loaded handles stops the handles rattling as you drive along. These Flush Pull handles are constructed of stainless steel and as such will need little if any maintenance.

The following pictures show the installation of the Flush Pull handles.

After making the mounting location of the handles, a hole saw is used to cut the mounting hole.



I drilled a pilot hole at each mount location and then I cut the through part of the deck from the under side first and then flipped the deck over and completed the hole from the top side.



Cutting the hole from both sides reduces the amount of burring that would normally occur when you simply drill through from one side only.





The Flush Pulls are placed in position and two small holes are then drilled to allow the screws to be fixed in place and a bit more of the job is done.

Nice units. Brand and part no.? Supplier?

Alternatively, I can see that you're gunna have to add these to Traxide's stock lines, Tim.

Hi p38arover, I got them from a wholesale company and they don’t deal with the public, but anyone is interested I will make them available.

I originally dealt with this company for other parts and it was only when someone on this post recommended checking out something that it reminded me that this company also carried some stainless steel hardware.

I’ll see what I can add to my web site.

Cheers.

Tim, if you can give an idea of the retail price, I'd be very interested in some.

Are the other ones you bought suitable for use as tie-downs that will lay flush when not in use? Or, in fact, are these - especially for lashing down an Engel fridge?

Hi p38arover, I considered using these flush pulls for that purpose but I don’t think they are strong enough but I’ll go through the catalogue and see what else they have and I’ll post some prices and if possible, I’ll post some pics.

Cheers

Hi Drivesafe, does the tubelock come in a smaller Dia? Not planning on sleeping in mine.
