Securing drawers in a 100 series

The issue of legalities etc has been done to death in another post a few months ago.. the end result is that unless you are welding the draws into the vehicle and/or removing the mounting points for the seats then anything else is considered 'temporary' (no time frame for the work is specified, so even if it takes you two days to remove the draws and replace the seats, it's still temporary. That is the official advice from the SA DEPT of transport) (different of course if you are adding seats.)
I have an 05 GU patrol with the same issue, I have removed the rear row of seats, wrapped them in plastic and stored them in the back of my garage somewhere.. I have a custom built set of draws and the way I mounted it to the floor was to buy the fitting points for the Milford cargo barrier. This involes drilling a 20mm hole in the floor under the carpet, inserting a steel plate with threaded holes and then screwing them in (see any Milford supplier) I think it cost me about $20 for the three mounting points. I mounted these under the fridge slide (draws on one side, fridge on the other) this allowed me to have the fridge as low as possible for easy access and doesn't interfere with the operation of the draws by having bolts sticking up (the fridge slide has a bit of clearance between the fridge and bottom of draw unit so the protruding bolt heads aren't a problem.

Good luck

One thing I forgot to mention.. not sure about the cruiser (I assume you have a spare wheel underneath and no long range tank) but with the Nissan, the fuel tank is under the rear floor, so ensure you lift the carpet and remove the fuel tank access cover in the floor to check where the fuel lines and how much clearance you have etc. There is plenty of places to fit the mounting points, but if you happen to put one in the wrong spot by just drilling straight through.. LOOK OUT.. OOPS

In the Patrol there should be 8 captive nuts already in the floor, 4 at the tie downs, two for the rear seats and 2 for child restraints. Should have no need to drill more holes. Most drawer manufacturers use these captive nuts to mount their systems

Thanks Leith. This is what I thought I would do, but was unsure if I could find ubolts that coud fit around the seat catches and the drawer frame. My other concern was whether these would be strong enough.
