In that case, maybe you have access to, and or the ability to weld it on. People have talked about doing just that, but no one has ever followed through as far as I know.

I've considered welding it on but I'm scared to death of warpage on the kegger or just a BAD weld job. I'm a tractor part welder exclusively!!!
