Drilling new holes for 2 tap tower

So i have never posted before but i have been lurking for a while now, and have learned so much from previous post, thank you for that.

My friend ended up with a True TDD-1 kegerator and didnt want it and sold it to me for $120, I replaced the tubing and added a new shank and it was fixed and working great, but i wanted to modify it to a 2 tap tower.

So i found the two tap tower on cornykeg.com, obviously i knew that I wasnt buying the best but i figured it was going to give me what i needed without really hurting the bank (why i didnt get a 3 tap tower).

but unfortunately i assumed i could just buy a tower and just plug and play, or drink in this matter but it seems that the mounting holes dont line up. I was thinking of drilling new ones and and tapping in new threads (havent priced that out yet), but i was wondering if anyone has done this before or has any pointers into drilling Stainless steel tops, or should i try and find another tower

Well I went ahead and drilled new holes in stainless steel top.. Went to home depot and bought a hole thread tapper cost me about $20 bucks for the bit and tapper. It's really not hard just took my time but make sure everything lines up before you do anything

Dang good setup for 140! I'm jealous!

I bought a Nostalgia Kegerator for $40.00 of CL but it didn't have the tower with it. I bought a 3" single tower(should have bought a three tap!) and had to drill all new holes. I went all the way through the top and almost screwed up big time. The front two holes went fine but when I drilled the first back hole it felt like it went all the way through then stopped. I drilled for a second or so longer then decided to check. Good thing I did, I was about to drill through the coil that was mounted on the back. The top of the coil wrapped under the top a an inch or so and I didn't think :smack: that it came out that far. I had to un-mount the coil, use a thinner mounting plate, and go with shorter screws.

Sounds like you had an easier time. That looks like a nice setup.

yeah my biggest fear for me is out growing the two taps and wishing i got the three , i guess time will tell. since i replaced my tower,if i have to go to a three i have a trial one to figure it out haha
