Fridge drop slide close up photos and info

[Rich.]

Hi Guys,

Im looking into building a fridge drop slide by myself, I'm in the UK and its just not possible to buy one.

I can't really find any up close photos, the main unit I'm interested in is the MSA unit.

If someone could get some up close photos of the gas strut assembly and the front locking assembly from behind i'd be hugely appreciative.

Mines going to be for a 47L arb so if anyone has the DS40 could you give me some measurements of the drawer slides on the side? Just open and closed lengths, and the same with the gas strut, just any info on it regarding the poundage of it and the closed and extended length?

Thanks in advance
Rich

check out the expedition threads on IH8MUD forum. There are a few commercial and a couple of home made
drop downs on there.

Thanks for the reply. I had a look but still cant find any info on the gas struts.

Thanks

Post # 259 and over on the following page have some pictures. Also there are a few more in my build thread. ( link in sig line )
The handle locks closed in the black plastic clips so I've never used the lock function to be honest.

Thanks for the help! Looks like we are building similar things! Mine will be taking an ARB too but its all going into a Navara.

Theres still not enough info on the shocks on the side though. Could you get a close up photo of the label on them and how they're mounted when you get a second?

Thanks
Rich
