Pics would be good Chris

I've got a simple ply shelf across the wheel arches at the moment and have often pondered the idea of adding drawers beneath 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Stornoway Grey

post some pics Chris please.

ref rattling draws cant say I have ever had that issue with my mss one.

after lots of deliberating I have ordered custom.sized draws from https://www.dogboxuk.co.uk/drawer-units/

they made a dog box for me last year, very easy to deal with, good quality powder coated galvanised metal work, well thought out designs. Cheers

I have a MSS Longline that i bought second hand some years ago now, it was red and i stripped it down and changed to black.

mine constantly has jump leads, few odd tools, camp stove and brew making facilities in it, keep all the long life milk cartons you get from hotels

Chris, looks just the job that.

18mm ply for the sides? What thickness for the bottom? 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

Hello,
18mm for the top, centre dividers and the sides of the drawers- everything else is in 8mm.

I seem to recall that one 8x4 sheet of 18mm and an 8mm were more than enough- plenty of offcuts for other projects.

The brass bits were a failed attempt at using some door security latches..........they don't like being mounted vertically.

This is a common misconception. Although he did work for ourselves (Trek Overland & Mobile Storage Systems between FEB 2011 - MAY 2011) he did not design the items. Mobile Storage Systems drawers were designed in 1999 by the then owners of the company Pamela and Nigel. As the gentleman behind Paranoid was born in approximately 1985 (so 14 years old at the time the products were designed) I'm sure you can see that he definitely DID NOT design Mobile Storage Systems drawers. Hope this clears up any confusion.

Why quote me as harbouring a misconception, and then make a different point? I never mentioned design, but rather "used to make" ~ he worked for you... making them?
