I just rebuilt my kegs / poppets seals etc with these:

as the poppets.
(got them in a seal kit sent with 2x kegs bought from same mob).

I have a spartanburg / Challenger kegs. Actually a mixed bag. Those generic ones fit both types i overhauled.

Cheers,

I had trouble with one post slowly leaking even with a new poppet. get some lube and give it a very light coat and it might do the trick. I now use it on all seals when I clean my kegs. no problems since I started doing that.
