I never thought mch bout it at the time and it wasnt till it arrived that, where to mount it sprang to mind and also was I going to have lines outside the fridge with warm beer so I decided to modify it to fit in the Top of the fridge.

First of was getting a flange and 1" Stainless BSP union , had these in my box of bits.
Once welded I welded some tube underneath and a nipple.
Then drilled a big hole in the top of the fridge :mrgreen:

screwed a big nut and flange on the inside and job done. still needs a bit of tidying but its now on top of the fridge in the garage and no external beer lines apart from inside the tap and the pipes insulated.
If I make a Keezer for the house at some point I can see this being my option.

Off for a well earned beer :grin:
 
Worked out pretty good as its good quality and wasnt tat expensive on the ebay auction £27, some go silly prices
 
You probably don't realise what a bit of history you have bought there!

A John Willy Lees bar tap!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I suggest you play this when you inaugurate the tap ...

... it's the only time I've ever heard J W Lees mentioned in a song. :lol: :lol:

PS

I hope you haven't removed the label! :nono: :nono: :nono:
 
Awsome video Ian, I'm sure you'll give it plenty of practice the next time you and Helen are here. Very apt song for you as you drink more units than the chap on the till in Ikea :lol::whistle::mrgreen:

Found this one
