trade plastic gas dip for metal?

[half_full]

I just picked up three more kegs. Two have plastic dip tubes that are in good shape. I'd rather have metal just to keep everything similar in all my equipment. I have drilled one keg already to change over from plastic to metal and will drill these two also.
So, if you would be willing to mail me 2 metal gas dip tubes in good shape, I'll return the favor by sending you 2 plastic ones.
If no takers, I'll just wait till my next Norther Brewer order. Just hate to pay $7.99 shipping for $7.00 in parts and I know the plastic tubes are hard to find.

I'll check back in a day or so for responses.

Cheers to all.

I've got several kegs with those stupid plastic dip tubes. On mine, the end of the plastic tube has a narrower diameter than the standard metal dip tube, and standard metal tubes won't fit past the narrow part of the opening.

I was extremely unhappy when I figured that out.

After some research, I found I had basically two options: 1.) do nothing or 2.) cut down some metal dip tubes to between 1/4 and 1/2 inches to just reach the point where the opening narrows. So far, I've gone with option 1, as it is the least effort on my part with minimal risk.

I was unable to find a source for the plastic dip tubes. If you find one, please let me know.

Hence, why the OP mentioned he's already drilled out the post to receive metal tubes. i.e.: Option 3.

*redfaced* Yeah, I probably should have completely read the OP.
