Further to my previous posts I have finally fitted the replacement fridge. I thought I would share the details in case someone else needed the same swop.
The Dometic fridge aperture is 821mm high but I had the sink bowel waste reducing this to 785mm in the middle of the carcass.
The Alpicool was the correct width but 790mm high, replacing the tall rubber feet with a shorter type brought the height down to slide in. It's left a small gap at the top of about 35mm that I plan to infill with something later.
I travelled to Clearcut Campervan Design in Barnstable to collect the fridge as I needed to see it in person knowing the dimensions were tight. When I was there I was blown away by their huge range of fridges and coolboxes. They also have CNC machinery to make their own furniture. Would recommend a call or look at there website, few showroom pictures below.

The biggest unanswered question is . Did it fit ?

Yes perfect. Haven't fitted the new trim as yet, I can post those tomorrow when the glue has dried.
Two photos attached show the sink waste outlet that was height critical and a general front view. Being gloss black the photo isn't great.

Do you have some plywood that matches everything else so as you can slip some in the front of the fridge
