100 Series Drawer System - Double R Edition (1 Viewer)

[RobRed]

This maybe too late in the build process. If you put a thin shim/filler that is made of either of flexible plastic such as Delrin or Crfp that would keep the squeaks to none. In between the 2 pieces of wood or metal to wood. we use this allot to shim allot of stuff and the eliminate the squeaks. As you most likely know airplanes flex and expand during flight. Even the 787 uses allot of this too.

Drawers have been tested off road - no rattles or squeaks. Very tight so far.

I think you need to break them down...ship to my work address to save on freight and let me give them an east coast road/trail test as well....

cant be too safe when dealing with these things.

RobRed,

Any pics of finished product I'm going to start my own set in the next week or two and have been anxiously awaiting updates on this.

Very cool, this is very similar to what I want to do, I got some ideas here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/381803-line-xd-my-interior.html in the 80's section, and I will acutally be making them for my 80.

Awesome, can't wait to see the finished product.

BTW professionally sprayed Line-X in the Bay Area is $15 sqft. That means spraying just the top of the box is $175. My point is that if you are planning to bed line something you should check the pricing and dont assume before hand.

There are many do it yourself solutions which I will be doing to a portion of this system. The top, interior facing portion I will carpet so at a glance it looks stock.

Is there anyway to see pics of them before carpet? The build on this looks very quality would like to see what is there before its covered up.
