Sliding Trays In Bays

[Curt Sprenger]

Don,
Thank you for sharing the pictures, descriptions, etc. This needs to be
uploaded to the site.

I can cut and weld. Is it possible to shorten the length of one slide to
retain the max. width? Or will that cause other issues?

Maybe tweetys.com will make us a group deal...
