The T-nuts I used for my DIY taps were 1/4 x 5/16inch

I dont understand what type of thread that is....

 

[OneEye]

It's a 3/8-16 thread which is a 5/16" drill size. Basically, yes those tap handles will fit

 

[Edak]

Aren't they lovely?

That's really strange how the 'P' on the stainless ones stand out so much compared to the PC ones...

 

[OneEye]

It's a different P too. The flow control mechanism also seems to be A LOT stiffer when compared to the chrome ones

Edit:
This is also a bit curious...

 

[Burchman82]

hope they arent counterfeit! mine got put in the post today!

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

The different P is due to a patent issue I read in another thread on here (can't find it on my phone).

Doubt they'd be counterfeit. Worst case they'd be prototypes of the final design? If they have same warranty etc then shouldn't be a problem at all.

All this on the assumption that Facebook post is real?

Also I'm sure Nibbo knows his supplier and what the genuines should be like Yada Yada.

 

[Burchman82]

I sourced mine from a HBS in Wodonga.... but yeah im not too concerned

Well cheeky peak also deal in perlick so that just adds weight to the case that these are the real deal

Care to share your idea?

There are some great ones out there, especially on www.etsy.com

I was thinking about crafting some handles from wood, as have access to plenty of blackwood - though it may take me some time!

 

[MarkBastard]

So looks like they are genuine but will soon be replaced. That sort of sucks as I was planning to buy two more in the future.

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Hopefully the outer design wont change. It shouldnt as I believe we have the new "P" on ours... I too was gonna get one or two more eventually

FYI, I've taken the "hard to move" flow control lever issue up with Perlick directly: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/80239-perlick-545ss-stainless-steel-flow-control-taps-problems-solutions/
