DIY Fridge slide and false floor for 120

Fixed the bent sides and rollers on my 4wdsupercentre drawers.
The mushroom head bolts that support the bearings that the drawer runs on are bending the steel sides. The sides are pretty thin galv sheet and not very strong. it also isn't stiff enough to keep the outer frame square so the drawer doesn't run square.
Well still waiting for email reply from 4wd supercentre Re warranty on single drawer. Tried ringing but that was futile.
So decided to fix them rather than wait.
The sides of the drawers is thin sheet and the weight of drawers made the bearing support bolts bend the sides in so drawer would jam.
also even though they fitted 2 bearings only 1 just made contact.
made up some fish plates to fit on outside of the frame and then replaced the bearing bolts with longer ones and added washers to move bearings in so both would take weight.
also fitted a polyurethane block on inside of frame to run along the drawer length, this stops the frame going out of square.
Last pic shows the fold up work bench over top of drawer.Made from Dotmar Poly "ply"
