Chrome Tap Handles For Our New Vent-matics

[Doc]

Just been checking out the brewboard.
Seems a number of guys are still upgrading to Vent-matic taps.

One of the guys has also just got some really nice shiney chrome handles for his. Here is a pic

So what do you guys reckon, another bulk buy on chrome tap handles :lol:
Here is a link to the distributors webpage for them.

Beers,
Doc

PS: maybe I should have waited until everyone has transferred their money to Ken for the taps first

The do look a bit phallic though.
You'd make yours a bit bigger though wouldn't you big d ? :lol:

yep .may have to come up with a few different sort of shapes.just imagine the response on seeing kens 6 tap setup.

nice find Doc. Chrome tap handles would finish them off quite nicely. Tho a pity to spoil the SS taps with brass handles, albeit chrome plated. You would think that someone in Oz could supply these easy enuf.

Maybe that could be big d ?

working on it doc although production would be slow due to being done on the sly at work.

Jeez Doc -
Had settled for a simple 8 to 10 tap goal post font for my new bar & you come up with that link - Now I don't know what I want :blink: ...

Choices, choices...

That would be me Fingerlickin, i will be machining some handles for my taps out of stainless, i guess if people would like some PM me. However it will be slow going, as soon as i get my taps i will make some and post some pic's.

Depending on what people would like, handles with a flat top would be a lot cheaper to manufacture.

Well I could not wait till the taps arrived so I went over to Trough lolly house and borrowed his tap and made a Stainless steel handles for mine and one for Rowan. I think they look the nuts guts however a little on the heavy side, but with this design I dont think it will be a concern.
As you can see I have made the handles a little longer as I think that looks better (hope you think so Rowan)
