Spacer for beer faucet?

[Julohan]

I just bought my brother-in-law a beer tap handle for christmas. Of course I had to test it out on my keezer. I just have stock handles on mine. I put the handle on barely fits on, without have the faucet open. The keezer lid won't open though. Putting it on mine really made me want tap handles.

Any suggestions for a spacer for the shanks? I would imagine I would just need a washer or something similiar on the inside. But, is there a bigger flange* or something else out there that will cover the shank on the outside?

*I think that is what it is called. the black piece that sits between the faucet and the wall on the shank.

Oh, the faucet is a Perlick 525 if that matters.

for the outside i used 1" pvc pipe and painted it black and for the inside some guys use a piece of wood for support. heres a link to https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/my-kegerator-58183/ so you can see the painted pvc section on the outside

edit: the first post on page 2 has the best view of it

I just saw those. I am not sure if the angle is big enough, I may check them out.
