I have very old Ivar shelving from the 1990s, including the wooden


drawers mounted under the wide (deep) shelves. These drawers employed


wooden runners. There was an "L" profile runner for the sides and a


"T" profile for the centre, between the drawers. Two drawers per


shelf. The runners were screwed to the underside of the shelf.




I've got the drawers (lots of 'em!) but lost the runners in a house


move. Ikea has discontinued them.




Can anyone supply the dimensions of the runners and the fitting


measurements so that I can fabricate my own? I could probably work it


all out from scratch, but if anyone has such drawers, it should be


easy to grab the measurements/dimensions.




Thanks!

Did you get the measurements? I have 3 of these types of shelves so here is the measurement for you.



the center "T" is 17 in. long set in by 1 1/4 in. from the center edge (shelf width) with 3 inset screws.

from the side (indented width) measures in 15 in. from one side

the bottom (vertical) of "T" is 14/16 wide

the arms (horizontal) of the "T" is 1 6/16 in wide

the height or depth of the "T" arms is 6/16 in.

total height of "T" is 1 6/16 in.

the two side "L"

foot (horizontal) of "L" is 15/16 inches wide and 6/16 in deep;

leg (vertical) of "L" is 11/16 in wide and 1 1/16 in deep.



I've done my best with the metal measuring tape; but you know what they say: "measure twice, cut once". And do work of the drawers inset.

Best of Luck to you. (pg)
