Hi so I bought this font on Gumtree.
It has snaplok connections
Does anyone know what brand it is? And what I would have to do to flood it with glycol?

Looks like an older Andale font. If you could flood it, it should have 2 steel tubes poking out of the bottom. I can only see 4 beer lines coming out, which suggests it can't be flooded. That also suggests it might not be Andale. I think it is though as I have 2 Andale fonts, same design only 5 taps. Mine are flooded though. If you have those steel tubes, (this is my way) you attach plastic hose to each end. One hose goes to a pond pump. The other sits in the reservoir with the pump. Pump pushes water through hose and tube, through the font and out the open end in the reservoir. Keep the reservoir in a freezer with glycol for icing. I never do. Just in the keg fridge with ice water when u want to use it. It chills the font and it beads up with cold droplets but no ice.
 
Yeah that was sort of the plan. Stumped at the lack of steel glycol lines. Do the base plates in your fonts screw off? If so the previous owner might just have lost it?
 
Base plates? Some have a large washers in front of the nut. Others don't. You should be able to mount that quite easily with everything you have. Don't worry about flooding though. I actually can't remember when I last turned the pump on. Beer is easily cold enough without it.
