The current TIG torch connection is just sandwiched on the stud along with the stinger lead. There's plenty of room under the door on the front of my welder for the dinse connector that's in that adapter kit. You are correct about me not needing the portability of the quick connectors, but if I ever need to disconnect the TIG torch for some reason then it's easily removed with the quick disconnects and the dinse connector. I'm not worried about the connectors leaking as they will hardly ever be moved once they are mounted up. I'll post up more pictures and stuff when I start buying the rest of the parts for the cooler and when I get my new torch and stuff in hand. Thanks for the help guys.
