Anyone convert a Home Depot rubbermaid 5 or 10 gallon cooler to MLT recently? I picked one of each up this week to use as MLT and HLT and want to buy a valve and fittings from bargainfittings.com - I'm looking for feedback as to whether I should get the keg/kettle bulkhead kit meant for 1/8 keg or kettle walls or 1/4 without an included shim or if I should get the shortest cooler bulkhead kit meant for up to 3/8 cooler wall. I'm measuring the cooler wall at just a bit less than 1/4, which should let me use the keg/kettle kit, but I don't know the significance of the shim, and I don't know if I go up to the cooler kit, if the kit meant for 3/8 wall will be too long and I'll have to add extra shims.
