Yes the draw can stay shut. Depends also on how you set it up. Theres about 1 inch from the top of the end of the draw to the top shelf.

The bearings were the most expensive part of the modification! Yea you can use 6 bearings if you like.... More stable, theres a lot of weight in them fridges.

Truckster, did you have problems getting the drawers to run parallel? My father bought the Red Desert drawers for his 100 series and they do not sit straight and true. No matter how many ways we have tried to get the sides to be parallel we have had no luck. Gives me the @#$!s as they are a nice looking drawer for a great price. Do you have any advice?

Call them and tell them the sides are warped, they will replace them!

There are Red Desert kits out there with missing parts so they have plenty of spares on hand.

Apart from that, loosen it all off, and just bit moire than finger tight so you can just move things, and then try to get them to go smooth..... then tighten up..
mine worked instantly!

Thanks Truckster,

They were purchased through a supplier who were bankrupt. They were delivered to L&S Electrics (I think) and the wrong parts were sent initially. There were two sets of holes in support bars (to suit an 80 series) but I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Dad isn't fussed (of course) but I am. Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try.

Glenn
Mine are Red Desert, and I know others who have called and got spares out of them. I know the story behind them... search the archive here for the 1300 # and call it... they have spares. Red desert still have the spares.

The second set of holes are to make it into a fridge slide.. look at the pics on my site.
