I looked at the schematic to get a rough idea about where the lines were and knew they ran on the interior wall so I plugged it in and felt the lining for the areas that turned cold the quickest. I knew they ran horizontally so I made my best determination of where they were located. I had about 31/2 inches of wall depth to work with so I decided I was safe to poke a hole through the front wall. I used 3/16th bit to make the hole then probed around the insulation for any obstructions. When I found none, I used a 1" hole saw and again punched just through the front wall. After cleaning out the insulation and determining there were no lines in the way, I finished the hole through the interior wall. I followed the same process for the rest of the holes for the shanks and one for our Co2 line. My balls shrunk a bit after I made those holes and didn't want to push my luck with screws so I decided to epoxy a short piece of 2X4 on the interior back wall to mount my manifold. Worked like a charm and it still runs, thank you baby Jesus!
