Convert Cornie pin to quick lock

[bobsbeer]

Hi All,

I have two Cornie's one with a quick lock and the other with pins, but being new to cornie's I thought the only difference was the posts. I have two sets of connectors but they have different threads. Rather than buy another tap is it possible to convert the posts to quick lock ones?

Only way I know is to cut the threads from a Ball lock keg and have them welded to a pin lock keg. . . . Sort of expensive conversion.

maybe

Looks like if you have 19/32 UNS threads on your pinlock keg then you can swap them. bits here

Any other options would involve hacking your kegs about (recutting threads maybe???), probably best just to sell it on and get another ball lock.

There is a conversion kit that can be purchased here in the US. I know it doesn't help your problem as your in the UK but take a look.
