Does anyone know of a Mcmaster-Carr part number that will work to replace the feet on the cornie keg lid clamps? Talking about this little guy:

Just seems like I should be able to get 10 for a dollar rather than a buck a piece...

I just measured one of the post legs with some calipers. The diameter is 0.22" and the cap height is 0.65", at least on the 3 gallon keg I measured. So McMaster 6448K23 seems the closest match, although they say that one is 1" tall. 9753K12 may be a better fit, these are vinyl and only 1/2" tall inside.

Thanks for the measurements. I think I'll buy a pack of the 1" ones as they look the closest. And I can just cut off the extra length.

If you are really cheap, just stick a penny under each of the legs of the clamp. That works out to $2.16 (plus shipping) less than the cost of a pair of the Keg Connection feet.

Just my two cents worth of information here. 8)

You have the McMaster code for the pennies Bug? I think they are available in bulk too, 50 or so in a package. 8)

Probably the best two cents of advice I have heard in quite awhile.
