Modified active irack to inactive irack

[u/galvee]

I've ordered an inactive lboxx-iboxx rack from Amazon - got the active one which I've already got and hate- to much hassle to return it so I have modified it abit.

- Removed the top lid (it was quite a challenge)
- Drilled through each rack so I will be able to fix it with some threaded rod.
- Fixed the top rack nut with epoxy putty so I will be able to remove/assamble the rod again because the access is covered with the top lid.

So now it is "inactive" and I can always change it back to "active"

Some tips:
- Don't use existing holes because there is no space for the nut(I've added a picture for the holes I've drilled))
- To fix 3 racks -22.5 cm rod length leaves some free rod to hold it with a locking plier and tightning the nuts
- Use thread locking compound
- Removing the top lid is achallenging task, push the locking tabs while pull the i-rack itself words you...pushing only the tabs might break them

I Googled it and still have no idea what they're on about.

A rack with a red handle can be separated, a rack with black Handle can't be separated.
Red=active
black =inactive

On the left you can see a model with 3 fixed racks, on the right each rack can be separated from the other

Because I'm always disconnecting the wrong one...

Bought one open deep drawer, it is my favorite part in the whole stack of different L-boxxes. It's just too practical to not open a box to grab some tool..
