tell you what else you could use as an option instead of a genuine slide..

Computer rack mount slides.. there are lots out there, and you can pickup cheap from ebay etc.. and they'll do basically the same thing.. some of them wont extend to that length, but most will..

I had to buy a rack kit for a HP server the other week and it cost me $20 from ebay.. would have been fine as a fridge slide.

Sorry for hijacking your thread Pete.....

Cheers
Steve

Did you sort out slides mate? Check out www.ovesco.com.au They have a good range and are much better priced than Hafale and Hettich.
