I purchased two kegs stamped 'Firestone/(Spartanburg) Model F' a few years ago from a brew shop that is now out of business. The kegs were converted from pin lock to ball lock before I purchased them and I feel it wasn't done properly. I say that because the new posts bottom out on top of the keg before the o-ring under the dip tube has been engaged. Currently I use Teflon to seal the threads and well, this is just stupid because it's not supposed to work that way.
So here is my question: I've supplied a pic of the post lug on the keg and the current ball lock post that I feel is incorrect because the threads are too deep. Has anyone else ran into this issue when converting these kegs?
