If it were me, I would hit up the scrappies for a metre of 2". It'll cost bugger all either in staino or copper. Just give it a citric acid bath beforehand. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

You could just spring for a 'leccy element straight up and use what you have already... :think:
If you're gonna tig those kegs, back-flush them with argon otherwise the welds will corrode. :handgestures-thumbupleft: Stick 'em if you like, it'll work good.

So I went and had a talk to the lads down in the main street but they cant get there hands on the aqua safe solder so I am going to order some from Adelaide in a few days time. Im hoping someone I know might be going down to town over the week end if not then I will be ordering some on thursday if you like I can get an extra roll of aqua safe solder for you. Let me know and I will get back to you on the cost.

Yeah, I know what you mean!
If you were able to get another roll for me that would be great because the local stores definitely won't be getting my money any time soon.
Where are you getting your copper parts from?

I called another place asking about 2" fittings. Went something like this:
"Hi, I was just wondering if you had any 2" copper fittings? "
"Nah I can't help you".
"okay no worries, tha.. "*beep* *beep*
That's customer service at its finest :roll:

Guys, please refrain from the comments regarding the illegal procurement of kegs. This site will not endorse that sort of discussion or behaviour and any further comments regarding this will be removed. Get yourself some kegs the legit way please. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Cheers
