Hi,

I bought a old guinness keg from a scrap yard for €5, only problem is that its valve leaks and pressure leaks out.(Damaged rubber seals and valve spring)
I took the valve and spear out and im wondering can i just replace the valve with one of these .

Why would you bother? A corny is €35
After having cut a few old ones, some of the the real gunk in there is scary.
