Baz,
I made a storage system for the Cruiser, and it works fine for me. I used Unistrut, this is available from electrical supply shops in 6mt lengths. I made up a frame to sit the draw in and on the side I welded the Unistrut. The Unistrut has a "C" section on one side which will allow a 22mm bearing to run. 5 bearings along each side over 900mm is fine. The longer the length the more bearings required.
They also use Unistrut on some roof rack bars, when you see it I think you can work out how I have set it up.
I have also made up spring locks so that when the draw is closed it is locked in and when the draw is open the lock holdes it in the open postion, so it will not close if the vehicle is not sitting level.

Baz,
They come in two sizes but this is only in there hight, 50mm or 25mm. The 25mm is the one to use and I have found that it is very strong.
