Following the successful Group Buy of kegs and auxiliaries from CanDirect... well, I have an issue here...the taps came with 55 mm shank:

and that's about 30mm short to what I require to have it all comfortably mounted:

CanDirect does not offer longer shanks.
You could get 3 1/2 in. (90 mm) shanks from US: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draft-Warehouse-Draft-Warehouse-3-1-2-Inch-Long-Beer-Nipple-Shank-Assembly-Chro-/390957268232?pt=Bar_Tools_Accessories&hash=item5b06de7d08
But looking somewhere local, as far as EU area. I shall let you know when I find a reliable EU supplier.
Cheers!
Cut out a strip of the inner skin & insulation inside the door where your shanks are. Use a strip of wood to butt up against the outer skin of the door. Put your shanks through the wood & then you can tighten them to the wood & you wont crack the skin on your door.
Yeaah... I wanted to avoid this but if unsuccessful sourcing the longer shank by end of today I shall begin stripping the doors tomorrow morning. Thanks
If your shanks are any longer they'll be bumping off the kegs & you wont be able to close the door. You still have to screw your tail piece on with beer line. Tight for space??
