I used slides from ebay like this one

My drawer doesnt use runners just plastic strips underneath and wood inplace so it can't tilt or lift up. Stove is on a cheap set of drawer runners from mitre 10

just done, not completely finished tho, a set of draws & fridge slide for the back of my gu. two draws side by side and fridge slide above, & completely independant of, the drivers side draw
fridge is a waeco 110

used accuride slides from concept latch in vic. very, very happy with the slides. they work a treat & they lock in & out. perfect fit between the back doors & a milford cargo barrier & slide length lets fridge comes out with ample space to open the fridge door

however going to make something so the lever on each slide can be pulled from one central point. two separate levers has proved to make it hard to operate sometimes.

Don't buy the 4wd systems one, not real happy with it.

The Waeco one looked fine.

I have used old Computer Server Rack mount brackets that have been taken out of systems we have pulled out !! Theyre rated to carry some pretty heavy server equiptment so for nothing i thought they do the job rather well !!
