I spent time at triple m today and purchased two alloy used / seconds trays which I will cut down to the size I want and fix to racks. I will post photos when finished. Picking up the trays next thursday. I am buying two as my old (2004) lux is with my son and he will do a similar canopy.

Any updates on your project Troyco?

I am starting the project thursday after work- looking forward to getting the thing done. I will take to a marine upholsterer for the sides. I will post pictures once completed
Cheers

The canopies are almost done just a bit of tweaking on the front end with some 50x75 angle and then off to the upholsterers for the sides here are some pics.



The beginning







some one always has to get hurt by the 9" grinder!



07 finished almost...



04 finished almost..


The trays used were alloy triple m trays with a little bit of customising all works well we are pretty pleased with the outcome. The weight loading capacity is the same as the tray except the springs would not hold it all!!

cheers

The date on the photos is incorrect of course - could not be bothered setting the date after putting in new batteries!!!

Still working out the fridge slide!!
