After bumping the tap handles on my kegerator one too many times, I started to search for a way to easily put some return springs on the tap handles. I know that they sell taps that have these, but I have some lovely Perlick 525's that I'm not about to give up. After futzing around with rubber bands, springs, what have you, this is what I came up with:
7/16" x 1 1/2" spring, and a #8 x 1/2" self-tapping screw.
The end of the spring close to the fridge just has the end closed enough to capture the head of the self-tapping screw, and the other end of the spring is looped around the ferrule of the tap handle. All of this because my tap handle to go with my orange blossom wheat sticks up a bit much:
