The lid O-ring was discussed, and i'm not at all concerned about that.Went back through the thread and confirmed that the differences were mentioned on the first page (at least on the mobile version of the site), right around where you asked about the flat rate shipping. I know it doesn't make your frustrations go away, but it was discussed.
Have you checked with McMaster-Carr?? Remove one of the lid o-rings, measure it, and see what McMaster-Carr has them for (and how many in a pack).Found replacement gaskets and o rings for the racetrack kegs.

Has anybody found any other places to get them? Would really like to find somewhere else with better shipping prices.
Sacrificial pressure release valve there. When it gets too high, the release in the lid triggers to save the keg. Problem is, it's a one shot wonder/deal. Most of the time, keg lids from ball locks will fit on those too. So you can change it over. Or you can try removing the relief valve in the lid. IF it has a nut underneath, you should be able to remove it. If it's welded in, you're boned.Got my kegs today, hats off to the extremely quick shipping! Can you tell me about this type of pressure relief valve on the coke conversions. I have not seen these before. I guess it is set to release at a certain pressure but cannot be manually activated to relieve pressure. Maybe? Anyways, thanks for the deal and great service (and for the sticker).
Thanks for the information. I have an extra lid I'll try on one of the 2 I got, and will look into replacing the other as well.Sacrificial pressure release valve there.

Haven't had a chance to measure the spacers, but I think this is what your looking for.All my stuff came in on Thursday. The keg was under pressure so that's good but I haven't pulled anything apart on it to look at all the unusual pieces yet.
I got one of the racetrack lid kegs in the sale the week earlier too and I haven't even opened that box.
If anyone finds a source for the plastic pieces and the odd gaskets that's reasonable I hope they post so that I can pick up spare parts.
I would like to have stuff to rebuild these kegs at least a couple times.
The rest of the stuff all looked good though.
Maybe I will get my new 15 pound CO2 tank filled this weekend.
yep http://www.chicompany.net/ has the post inserts and correct gaskets. Found that out last night when I received my racetrack keg & needed to source the proper parts.If anyone finds a source for the plastic pieces and the odd gaskets that's reasonable I hope they post so that I can pick up spare parts.
Yes, it says Keg Connection on the Fedex label, and there is a nice Keg Connection sticker in the clear envelope that is visible. Good luck.FedEx says my order should arrive tomorrow! I am SUPER excited(especially since I ordered around 4am Monday night/Tuesday morning)
Is there any marking on the boxes stating it's coming from Keg Connection? I'm a little concerned I will have to be stealthy about hiding this purchase since it's a Christmas gift...lol![]()
