    Yes they just slot over a lip which is under the headlong,
    The lights come from clearcut conversion 12v led and to be honest I have not fired them up yet so can't tell you how good they are
    I just have my fingers crossed

    The lights work well !
    I want to rebuild the seat now that sits behind the drivers seat and the tall cupboard, at present it has a lift up top pretty inconvenient if you are
    sitting on stand need to get something out so I am going to make a drawer that comes out the side.
    Has anyone got any knowledge of a drawer runner system that 'locks' in place when shut and then in order to get the drawer out you push it in a tiny bit
    it clicks and releases the drawer, I am sure they must be used in conversions, any kitchen fitters out there or van convertors who know what stye
    are and where you can get them from
     
  3. Try ironmongery direct, they do lots of metal drawer runners

    Okay just looked them up they are called push to open and can come with soft close as well, has anyone any experience of using them, they look
    very suitable, my only concern would be will the locking mechanism hold the drawers in when cornering, ( stock height so corners like a boat as it should do )
    done want to go to all the trouble of fitting them if they slide open en route,
    Pickles, here's the lights in action very bright, I am really pleased with them, easy bright enough to read at night with.

    And this is the cabinet I am going to rebuild with one large drawer under the seat and three thin drawers in the the tall cupboard, will save us scrabbling
    about in the back of the cupboard for a jar of Marmite !

  5. This is similar to my long-term plan for Harvee, although I'm going for a taller (possibly slightly wider) cupboard, a seat big enough for a porta potti and a hinge-up front to the seat base to give the dog somewhere to stand when she wants to put her head out of the sliding window :)
     
  6. Where did u get the top locker brackets?

    From the original top locker that was there but to be honest anyone could make you them up who had any metalwork skills
     
  8. do those lights run only off mains power? are they LED's too?
     
  9. the original swing out should have stainless sheet on the outside facing out , ill find a pic of mine if i can , ive just put a shelf in my waldrobe too , makes sense to use space , as no good as waldrobe really , ive been looking for another head rest as ive swung mine around , i ie shaped waldrobe back rest behind driver to give me the head rest , but looking for another to do other side the same , i fitted hinged buddy seat base too so lift up for storage like main back seat , have you got the original middle front buddy seat back rest frame ?? liking your resto :thumbsup:
