Shanks for INTERTAP

[surfer69]

Does anybody know of a supplier where I can get shorter Stainless shanks for INTERTAP Taps.
I'm doing a large upright fridge conversion and need only 5cm or so to maximise the number of kegs I can squeeze in !
They only do very long (10cm) or Very short (for towers)
Thanks in advance

Had to google the taps, I thing your options are :

1) hacksaw and a file if your using brass shanks to chop back and square off,
and an angle grinder and belt sander if its stainless steel.

2) if space inside the fridge is a premium, consider an external spacer, a nice bit of seasoned oak or a bit of stainless steel box section depending on taste, this could also provide an anchor point for a drip tray frame too..

I just purchased a couple should be arriving this morning.
on the intertap site it days the 100mm shank is ideal for mounting through walls of upto 65mm, so i think the shank is 100mm in total rather than mounting through 100mm

External spacer. Why didn't I think of that ! Simple but effective.
I'm after stainless and loathed to cut them down.
