3G corny keg parts

Hi!

I got a deal on one of these that was leaking pretty bad. I think I need some parts and looked around and couldn't find what I might be missing!

This is the one handle keg and what is "weird" is there seemed to be some type of insert in the disconnect posts. This insert goes under the popet and over the diptube. Everything else looks pretty normal...

a) Is there supposed to be that insert?

b) Where can I get 2 of them?

c) anything else weird I should know about these tiny things?

d)The gaskets look "standard" but the poppits look weird and worn out- any idea who stocks them?

Thanks!

Chris

Post a picture or two. I had a pin lock keg with what you're describing. I replaced them with regular posts.

Do it look like dis?

I was wrong, I didn't replace these with newer posts, they have a bigger thread size. I don't know where they came from.

I was trying to take a picture. They are like that BUT mine is ball lock not pin lock.

See that little plastic piece in the bottom left? I need to get a replacement for that and the one for the out dip tube (that one is different size)

Any clue where to find um?

thx!
