Snap on kr 1000 box

[wd-12]

Hi Everyone ,
I finaly made it here.After 45 years of mechanic I'm Rretired!But as many others I still have many Questions.I pulled my tool box out of the shop last monday.I plan on restoring it as I did 15 years ago between jobs.All the drawers are pulled cleaned and just about sanded.This is a KR 1000 snap on box.It was made and purchased in 1987.I replaced many drawer slides over the years due to the fact it was over weighted.I also replaced 2 of the 4 wheels due to bearing failure.For your info they have a life time warranty..Anyway I plan on using this box in my garage for the next couple years for side jobs.Here is my question,I replaced the dentents and noticed the front rubber cushions were missing.These cushions look like a dog bone with a slot in each end and made of rubber like the detent.I called snap on but they said I would have to buy the whole slider.ouch. I called accuride but could not get through.Does anyone know the part number of this or an interchange where I can them?
Thanks,
Mark

I finished the box but still looking for the cushions.I called snap on again.Since They dropped the part # they are in the process of a warranty claim for the whole slider.I'll let you know how I make out.Anyway here is a picture of the restored KR 1000.I took pics of the whole restore process so if you want other pics I can send them up on request.Thanks for your interest.

I have a KR1000A that was just about given to me. I am thinking about restoring it as well. Some do-do sprayed bed liner in a couple of the drawers. Trying to figure out the best way to remove it.

I would like to see your pictures of the restoration process. Did you paint all the drawers inside and out again?

Thanks
Marty
