Wanted to Buy. A pair of hinges and the catch & lever door lock from a small ice chest. Unable to purchase a fridge to fit in the compartment I have, I plan on making my own ice chest and need a pair of hinges and the Ice chest type catch and lever door handle mechanism. I would also like an old ice chest emblem/logo to give it an authentic replica appearance .......  I'm in Melbourne South/Eastern suburbs. Pleas send a PM if you can help. Red

Thanks Roehm3108, even your little fridge won't fit.  I made the mistake of building my kitchen before sourcing the appliances.  I only have 455mm high x 470mm wide and 450 deep. I have resigned myself to making an ice chest that fills the space completely to give me as much storage space as possible. |

Thanks greedy53, yes I've tried all the Engle and Waeco options of all sizes with the lid/door opening and nothing suits or fits .... my bad!!! Thanks raym, if I can't get something from this Forum, then I guess it will be a trip to Castlemain for me. I checked their Web site and it is just a fornt page with "coming soon" Red |

Got a great ice chest from ray ..... Thanks. I'm in the middle of changing the dimensions to make it fit the space in my tear drop. This one came with a small "Glacier" aluminium tag.
What I would like is an old ice chest or fridge emblem to go on the door. Something like the 1950's Kelvinator emblem would be ideal. Any other similar emblem also would do.
Thanks in advance.
