Go to the top of the class :-)
Front edge of the basket is attached to the barrier with cable ties only.
Rear corners are attached to the barrier mounts (grab handle mounts) with some brackets fabricated from an old piece of aluminium I had lying around, and high tensile bolts.
Ply is attached to a piece of aluminium angle with high tensile bolts (left overs from the blister pack bought for the brackets) and attached to the drawers using the original bolts that hold the top of the drawer on. (positioned to hold the ply up off the fridge slider).
Two angle brakets are attacthed to the top of the ply and cable tied to the bottom of the basket. Thought of using metal clamps for this but the cable tie method works fine.
This unit is made to be easily removable and quick to install (takes about 10 minutes) as I don't have it in when not travelling.
First time I used it was for the EO get together in
Birdsville, which included a 3wk tour around north and west QLD. Best thing I ever built :-)
Means you can carry a lot more "stuff" in the back without it getting too messy. Also keeps fridge vents clear.
Cheers.....
