Fridge Slide

Here's some pics of the one I made for my 39 litre Engel. I made it so I could unlock the tilt mechanism without having to reach to the back of the fridge to allow it to tilt.
It still unlocks at the rear for tilting but I just pull back on the sprung stainless steel rods at the front of the fridge and turn them a 1/4 turn to lock them open, the fridge then tilts as it opens on the slide. The slides were given to me years ago, they are a bit bulkier then the Hafele ones but they were free so who's complaining? In the pics you can see the rear pins where they lock/unlock the tilt mechanism, the stainless wire is used as a limiting strap. The whole frame of the false floor is also stainless steel.
Regards Andrew.
