Hi,
Does any one know where to get good heavy duty drawer runners for storage systems in Melbourne ? Don't want to recycle filing cabinet ones.

Thanks
Matt.

I made my own very heavy duty runners.
I bolted some 15mm square steel tubing to the side of the draws I made and then bolted two rows of rollerblade bearings for each side of the draws. Very simple, very strong, very cheap. I will take some digital pics if you like.

Cheers

If you know anyone in the IT industry, you might be able to "approprioate" a 19-inch rack mounting kit aimed at big computers. I know a guy who did this and it worked a treat.
