4 baskets, and it is only 850mm high
I had a shelf on top of that.........

was not happy, and then the Boss started to complain about trying to get the mash baskets out - they move when travelling, and was a real pain in the a$$

so it went west with the Indians............

so after much searching - as I said - Bunnings, Masters, shop fitting places.......
NOTHING
cupboard dimensions are
overall width - 505mm, BUT only 450mm opening at door
1050mm high
550mm deep

everything I found was either 520mm overall or 470mm basket
some were 420mm overall, with a basket of 350mm

AHHHHHHHHHH this is driving me crazy..................

only a few problems fitting (wouldn't be me with out having problems, now would it........????)

had to cut the top bar to size - from 1100mm long
but
I had to make 2 cuts, as in the middle is an opening thingy for the down posts to "hang off"

SORTED - had to find 1.2mm cutting wheel for Grinder
now to fit..........

"Oh fer fooks sake..........."

Jayco has one of those plastic "corner" braces for the side and back right where I want to hang the top bar....................

cannot go below, as it wont fit the down posts........ damn thing
have to go above
so its now about 75mm too high, and I would have had a shelf at the top.......

bugga....... oh well, plow on........

(thought this morning, "why didnt you just move the corner bracket????????" - tosser.... later job........)

I've got it made already for you Bigcol just got to give me the measurement(add 1" each end to the length of the awning ) . Those tinted windows aren't as dark as you'd think hey, just takes the edge of the glare, having said that we have the clears cause that's what I'm told I like.
