Bonnies fridge was one of the tiny Electrolux ones that ran on 240v only, great with a hook up but not much use in a field with no power.
So I got this
Gas only but the biggest that could possibly fit in the space under the worktop. It needed a little work as the botton of the door panel was rotten (must have been in a Commer
) and the igniter was missing except for the electrode. Looking around on ebay revealed that the igniters were rather pricey so I improvised a bit
One piezo bagged for £3.95 and a length of wire.
Secured to the bottom of the fridge with an old gate bolt guide and attached to the electrode.
Everything cleaned up and a new door front was cut out and painted with Ford Antelope Beige
Here it is at Moffat, worked really well. Vent is a period Electrolux one, awkward thing to fit with so little room and made me wince when I had to cut a hole in Bonnie's flank
I also nicked the 240v element out of the old fridge and that works too. Cold beer what ever
I also made a hinged flap to fit underneath the fridge to match the one on the opposite side to finish it off.
