DIY 2 tap tower

Has anyone used a kit similar to this: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/hoses/beertubing/TOWER-REBUILD-KIT.shtml
to modify their stock single tower to a 2 tap tower? This is much more in my budget than the $120-$150 to purchase a whole new tower and taps.

The link isn't working for me.

I have looked at doing this for a three tap but this is a two:

Then all you need to do is buy one shank, and move your current shank over:

Then just pick up a second tap.

That should run you under $90.

Edit:
was this what you are looking at, not sure why your link isn't working, it looks the same:

I guess it all depends on your tower diameter if it will fit two shanks side by side or staggered. I know my single is only 2.5in and isn't big enough for a second tap.

I would also be careful of that tap since it is not a forward sealing faucet. You could just drill a hole buy a shank and a good tap.

That is exactly what I was looking at. I've been doing some forum researching and there is a guy on here who fit 3 taps in a 2.5" tower, all side by side! Now, with that being said, it looked very crowded. I'm confident i can fit 2 on the same elevation with a 45° offset - with the 90° shank.

I have also seen the collar style tap extenders that stagger a second tap at a different height, but have only seen them for 3" towers, not 2.5"

Wish I could find that build on the forum again with 3 taos on a stock tower. I opened mine up and I'm not sure 2 will fit! Anyone have any tips?

I searched and found the pic with two and it looked really tight in there. I'm not sure how they did three in a 2.5in tower.

Do you have the pic of 2?

I was in a similar situation and ended up ordering a custom tower from these guys. Its incredibly well made and super affordable.

Edit:
Here is the three taps on a 2.5in tower but no top down shots. It looks like he offset the tap positions to get them all to fit.
