Hey guys...
I have 3 kegs with the tops cut and getting ready to be converted.
I am gathering the parts to be welded (still looking for someone to do the welding) and have a few questions:
1. Is there an issue tig welding a 304 "Cast" stainless coupling to a keg? See the link below for an example...

2. Am I better off or would the welder likely prefer to drill/punch and prep the holes themselves or should I do it? If I'm gonna do it, how tight do the joints need to be?
3. Unfortunately I don't know anyone that can tig these for me... So what should I ask when I call someone from the Yellow Pages to quickly get an idea if they have the equipment/knowledge to do the job?
Thanks,
Ed
