I'm trying my hand at refurbishing an old brass mushroom tower. So far it's been going ok, buuuut all the shanks are chrome-plated brass (as far as I can tell) with all the chrome eaten/worn away on the inside which touches the beer. I worried about letting the beer sit in contact with this, so I'd like to replace them with stainless steel shanks (or at least new shanks). The problem I've run into is that they have an outside diameter of about 1/2" rather than the 1" that is normal. I can't seem to find any replacement shanks like these out there, does anyone know where I could find some? Or does anyone have an idea how I could fix this problem in another way.
