Hi,
We have a waeco cf50litre fridge with rigid handles. We are having trouble fitting it into our 150 prado with a cargo barrier fitted. We are trying to find replacement handles which drop down, similar to engel or the waeco cfx fridges. Has anyone else had the same problem and found handles that fit the existing holes left by the fixed solid handles of the cf 50 litre. Thanks

G'day
We had the same problem which we solved with a short length of SS handrail wire and fittings. Small loop swaged on each end with original handle bolts + a couple of washers and back into 2 of the original handle threaded holes.
Add a turnbuckle for tightening to the tie-down point and problem solved.

Thanks so much for you response. I knew that there would be someone out there who had the same issue. That's a good suggestion. I hope we can return the favour some time.
Cheers ... Alan

Depends on what storage system and fridge slide you have to some degree. We have a Black Widow system and the barrier cants rearwards to allow the second row seats to recline which is a legal requirement
We simply added a pair of tie downs forward of the supplied ones and that fixed the problem and yes we have a 50l Waeco but not the CFX. But this fixes the issue for the CFX with no problems
Waiting on BW to supply some different straps so we can fit a 65L ARB fridge
Regards
Rob
