mmgemini Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Well that worked This is the framework for the fridge cooker housing slide. I'd initally been going to fit the 45deg braces at the very front, however the checker plate seemed to strenghted the corners up. I've put those pieces onto the door jam so the frame doesn't bent when the door slams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Advise/ help please http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us What's the best way to fill the 45deg cut. No ! I can't weld ally. Neither can I see to weld now... Checker plate I would like to fit stuff to the checker plate. I don't like the fact that fitted items stand proud of the plate leaving a gap in places.So easiest way the remove the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Have you got a local fabricator? Few beer tokens would get a cap welded onto it . Or are you saying its now fitted on the trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 When building mine mike I got the fabricator to bend a one inch flange on tHe chequer plate then I bonded that edge to the inside edge of the Ali with tiger seal that way it sat flat ans has never moved.

Bowie69 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Flap wheel in a grinder? Certainly be quick, not sure how easy you will find to get a good finish with any method other than sticking it in a mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Flap wheel in a grinder? Certainly be quick, not sure how easy you will find to get a good finish with any method other than sticking it in a mill. That could be the small drum sander on the Proxxon drill. Will try that when I buy a new Proxxon flexi drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well again I've tried to post some pics...Again the bugs have stopped me. I dropped the Engel into the slide to see where it was to be fitted. Then I've made the cooker shelf ready to fit next week after we've had a few days away.

landroversforever Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Why is it not letting you post pictures? what is it doing? I normally just copy the links from Photobucket/Image shack etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Mike with regards to removing the bars on the checker plate. You could try using a router, if you are only removing a few bars then a larger base fixed to the router base will allow the router to ride on the remaining bars while you rout away the bars you don't want. If you are removing a lot of them you may need to be a bit more creative with the router mounting...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Upload your pics directly from your pc to the forum - that way they are preserved for the life of the forum rather than disappearing with your imageshack / photbucket account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 When typing your reply be sure to be using the full editor (press the "more reply options" button at the bottom right of the window) You wil see a section titled "Attach Files" at the bottom of the screen and beneath that a button titled "Choose Files". If you press that button a window opens enabling you to browse to your photos on your PC. You can then upload them. Once uploaded you have to add them into your post - make sure the cursor is where you want the picture to appear in your post and then click on "Add to post". Simple as that!

steve200TDi Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Really. All I got was " this file is too big to upload" Where next ? You need to resize the image. The easiest thing I do is to open it in paint and use the reducing tool to makee it smaller and then resave as a .jpg Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
