I currently have a one tap kegerator and recently bought a kegco dual tap tower to replace the single tap. I noticed that the single tap is at 3.5 inch and the new tape is at 4.5 inch. Any advice to adapt this to the kegerator? I tried looking for and adapter flange but was unable to locate anything. I rather not drill in new holes but it's not a deal breaker either. Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing you're going from a 2" to a 3" column? I don't think you'll find a transition piece for that (maybe going from 3 to 2 but not the other way 'round).
I suspect you're going to have to bite the bullet, but definitely make sure there isn't anything running across the top in the vicinity of the new holes.

Good luck!
 
So i took a cover that was meant to plug the hole up top which had a 4 inch diameter. I then used a step drill bit to open a hole in that cover. I then lined up the original tower flange and drove 4 screws attaching it to the 4 inch plug. I then marked and drilled in 4 holes using the 4 inch gasket for the new tower.

Sucker worked! Only thing now is that I have to buy bolts for the tower screws as the ones that came with it were designed for the long bolts to attach to a new installation or counter setup. Thought I'd share in case someone ran into the same problem. Aesthetically, it doesn't look too crappy, but with a slip in cover it would look better.
