When we were at the Manchester show I intended to purchase a Fiamma Omni Stop to secure the plates in the cupboard above the sink after removing the original plate rack..
Fiamma Omni Stop
Fiamma usually have a stand but they weren't there,fortunately I found virtually the same thing on the Seaflo accessory stand for only £2,more than a third off the Fiamma price ( £6 or £7 or so ).
For some reason the plate rack is secured with a screw at the front but a rivet at the back so this had to be drilled out to remove the rack,why not two screws Lord only knows.
When the job is complete one hole can be covered with the circular cover that came off it ( you did save it didn't you ) if you want to cover the upper hole extra adhesive discs are available from Bailey.
The runner of the plate holder is then stuck to the dividing wall with he provided adhesive strip and the securing piece slid along it to secure the plates.
I think it is better than the Fiamma model as the plate holding piece is wider at the end,one thing might have made it neater and that would be an end stop on the end of the runner.
This is view of the whole revised cupboard with the cup holder secured at the bottom.
Some pieces of non-slip matting finished the job.
Bottles and other tall items can fit neatly where the glasses are in the picture.
As nothing is screwed to the van or the cupboards it can all be removed if need be and reverted to the original.
The screws that held the cup holder and plate rack I reaffixed in the holes then they won't get lost.
You can secure the plates laid flat with the securer placed vertically ( as in the Omni Stop link ) but our plates were too wide and the door wouldn't shut properly.
I also treated SWMBO to an Isabella dish rack as she is always complaining about a lack of one.
