i’m adapting an existing web application to use with a touch scrren on a kiosk. I have two radio buttons in the normal web interface that of course are not usable.
What’s the best thing to use instead of them?

Radio buttons should be quite usable in a touch interface. After all, they are specifically modeled on a real-world “touch” interface.
If your real problem is “My radio buttons are too small to touch with the particular setup I have here”, and you can’t convince your device to scale things up (e.g. by specifying a width and height in CSS), your best bet would probably be to emulate radio buttons using Javascript and your own images, and a hidden form field.
