Ha.  Yeah, I'm not using two of the outlets at the moment.  I might get
some funny looks if there was a tap attached to it.

I did wonder about the law - it is not an open bottle but there probably
are laws about driving a bar.  Probably not a good idea to have anything
mounted that was too obvious... perhaps an 'under sink' switch to go from
water to beer?  Probably best to keep it simple and stash/setup on
arrival...

Nice.  Those fender covers look the perfect size.  Thanks!
