Plastic Post Insert for Older Racetrack Keg Posts

Plastic Post Insert for Vintage Keg Systems

Revive your older keg setups with this essential plastic post insert, specifically designed for racetrack-style keg posts. Ideal for homebrewers and keg enthusiasts maintaining legacy equipment, this insert ensures a secure fit and reliable performance.

****NOTE, MUST BE FITTED****

This part rarely fits as it comes due to variations in construction over the years. They are normally too tall. We have to fit them to the keg we are replacing them on and you will need to do this as well. We sand them down on a drum sander or use the side of a grinder wheel. Please do not purchase this product and then give it a bad review because you have to fit it. We are selling them as they come and they must be fitted! This is not difficult, but it is necessary.

Key Features and Compatibility

Crafted for compatibility with Firestone Challenger (non-Super Challenger) and John Wood ball lock kegs featuring racetrack lids, this insert addresses common wear in vintage systems. While most modern posts don't require it, this part is a must-have for older models to maintain seal integrity and functionality.

Note on Installation: Due to variations in keg construction over the years, this insert may require minor fitting, such as sanding or filing to achieve the perfect height. This straightforward adjustment ensures optimal performance and is a standard practice for these legacy parts.

Durability and Maintenance Tips

These inserts have proven durable in long-term use, with many original parts lasting over 20 years. We recommend pairing this replacement with a new poppet valve for comprehensive keg maintenance. As a hard-to-find component, securing one now preserves your keg's lifespan and keeps your setup running smoothly.

Whether you're refurbishing a classic keg or stocking up on spares, this plastic post insert offers a reliable solution for maintaining your brewing equipment.
