Was bored this arvo so I went out to tinker with my zook I had a new cooler/warmer in my gararge that has been sittin there for about a year I tryed it in behind the seats and fitt good except for the drop in the tunnel so I decided to make a cradle to sit it in.

this is the cooler



I measured the cooler and cut some alloy angel up to suit



then I sat it all together to see if it fit





it fit well so then I drilled and pop rivet it together





then I cut some bits of the alloy to go on the corners



my cooler has rounded corners so I had the pop rivets facing in for looks



next I needed some legs to support it where the tunnel drops I bent a bit of alloy up and pop riveted it into place





I tryed it in the zook fit good the gave it a lick of paint



then once dry I screwed it down into place and fitted the cooler







all up took about a hour and a half to make nice and easy
hope this helps some one

cheers jimbo

Go that bit extra and go buy a 12v oven from Dick Smiths, so you can have a cold beer and a hot pie all at once whilst on the move. I have a similiar sized Waeco and 12v Oven both sitting behind my seat in my work van and couldn't do without them now.

hmm.. I have actually had one of the 12v ovens for nearly 7 years. Used to use it extensivly when 4wd in winter, dont use it much since putting the fridge/warmer in. To tell you the truth I dont drink that much anymore, much easier not to if you dont have any coldies either
