Unique Beer Tower

I've had this tower in my garage for 6 or 7 years. I ran across it on eBay and picked it because I thought it was an interesting shape. I've looked but I've never seen one like it. I dug it out of storage now that I'm starting to think more seriously about building a keezer.

An immediately obvious problem is how to mount it. As can be seen, there's no mounting flange to screw it down. My thought is to have a flange made that can be attached to the tower using the existing screws on the bottom. Then screw down thru the flange to hold the entire assembly in place.

Another issue is the fact that I'd like to eventually have more than one tower, but finding a match to this is probably unlikely.

So, anyone seen a tower like this? Have any information about it? Got any mounting suggestions or know where to find another?

Also, it's disappointing that the manufacturer chose to put the seam in front rather than behind.

Get bigger screws, screw it down from the bottom.

Wanna sell it?

or... cut a big enough hole in your fridge/counter/whatever, and sink the entire tower down and glue it.

Actually the manufacturer did put the seam on the back, it is designed to be mounted on a bar and the smooth side would face the customer.

Doh!

Cool tower BTW, are the screws on the bottom of the unit threaded into the tower? If so you could use longer screws there and run the screws through the top of whatever you mount it on..

looks like you could drill another hole for a third tap below the other two in the middle.

I'd cut a nice bottom plate out of stainless steel for it, maybe an inch larger all the way around than the outer cross section of the tower. Use the existing screws to mount the bottom plate to the tower. Then mount the bottom plate to yer fridge or bar.

That's the plan.

I considered that, though that depends on finding the correct shank.
