Title: Looking for help from friends
Post by: Pat Pixley on September 17, 2002, 10:38:00 pm
Ok it has been a long time sense I had to ask for help, So here we go. I am rebuilding my S&S 700 Chest  cooler
I'm having the out side box all fabricated sense this was just
about gone to rust the ice box has been done and I'm going to rubber coat it in a week or two. My problem is two things!
I need handles This had no handles the next thing is I need
new caster, the original one are rust up real bad two of
them have rusted almost away.
So if any body has a ideal on this that would be great .

Thank's
Pat P. :cool:

of them on here.

Pat,

For the casters, I would start in the Grainger Catalog!
As for the handles, I'm not sure where to begin and I have never actually seen them to know what they are similar to... Anybody...?

Did I understand you correctly; you are having difficulty uploading a photo for display...?

the original should have been made out of a stamped metal that looked like it came off an old garden gate, here's a shot of an aluminum repro-handle from a shop over in Birmingham, MI, that's pretty close (only it has four holes for the screw's instead of two.)
