Default Cabinet Suspension Fitting

I have just made a cabinet (hence earlier posts about hinge cutter bits).

Now I have come to mounting it on the wall, I was going to use the
modern things that most kitchen cabinets use - apparently called
Suspension Mounting Fittings [1]. But, alas, I had not thought it
through. These require the fitting to be mounted approx. 15mm or so in
front of the wall. Which, if you have a false back in the cabinet, is
fine. I don't have that. Because the cabinet is very shallow already, I
decided just to inset a bit of thin white faced MDF/hardboard into the
back. So I really have just about 3mm.

So are there any similar devices that work in the siuation I have
described? The adjustability is so nice! The load is nowhere near the
same as a laden kitchen cupboard so a light device would probably be fine.

[1] If I have not explained clearly, they are shown here. I have used
these very ones very successfully for cabinets with real backs.
