I've finally found three 2.5 gallon scottie kegs. Yes they cost more than a 5 gallon keg but they are sweet.

I want to build a MBDU (mobile beer dispensing unit) where the scottie keg, paintball co2 tank (with thread adapter), and regulator all fit into a cooler that I could throw some ice packs in. On the outside I will just have a standard faucet and drip tray.

Having a hard time finding a cooler that is tall enough for a scottie keg. Most are an inch or two short inside. I want one that will clear the scottie keg with cornie fittings AND that has wheels so I can roll it around. Has anyone made such a thing?

PM Push Eject. I think he might have the parts list you are after.

I've built one with two 3 gallon kegs, paintball tank, and regulator. I think they are a little taller and a little skinnier than the 2.5 gal, and the 3 gal kegs rub against each other so this may not work for you. Anyway, the cooler I used was the 70qt igloo max cold ice cube cooler. It's got the exact same body as the 60 qt ice cube but a taller lid which is necessary since the second keg sits a little bit higher. The only place I could find the 70 qt model was Dick's sporting goods and Gander Mountain, and it's pretty expensive at $60-70. Gander had it on sale for $40 when I bought mine, but I haven't seen it at that price since. Anyway, I'll post some pics after work today, I think the paintball tank makes an excellent tank for a mobile setup.

A 2.5 gallon scottie keg fits perfectly inside my 10 gallon round Gott cooler.
