Just thought I would share my build on an exsisting tower kegerator build. It was a haier model that can hold 3 kegs. First I driled out 7/8" holes all the way through the door, then took a step bit to the front to open it up just enough to get my (reinforement) 3/4"cpvc couplings. (you have to reem the ID of the cpvc coupling to 7/8" (piece of cake)
When measuring your spacers just stick it inside your bore hole and mark it with a pen, then cut. Ya want them flush with the fridge so the shank has something to tighten down on. Its pretty straight forward and here are some pics cause sometimes its easier to understand if your anything like me, a visual person for sure.
I wanted to really make sure I got these shanks tight without the worry of crushing the foam or breaking the inside plastic door. Sure I could have just put a block in the back, which I also did to really make it strong. Now, the hole that was used for the tower, simply made a plug and sprayed great stuff to insulate. Now I just have to make a nice top for it and it will be ready for beer
