Looking for a Compressor Adapter
#1

Hi All,

Since we don't have an "Off Topic" forum, I'll have to post here.

I've decided to have a go at playing with airbrushing and spray painting, so I ordered a Super El_Cheapo Airbrush from Hobbyking and then headed over to Ebay and picked up a cheap Air Compressor to run it. Both arrived within a day of each other but I've not been able to get it going cause I can't connect one to the other.

According to the Compressor manual, it has a 1/8" BSP male connector for the air outlet. I dunno what the airbrush uses but I've measured the connection on the hose to be as close to 5mm diameter as I can measure.

I'm guessing I need a Female 1/8" BSP to male 5mm adapter.

Does anyone know where I can get such a beastie?

Quick Google searches haven't been helpful and only eBay listings come from England where they want $4 for the adapter and $20 for postage which I'd rather not do unless it's a last resort.

Thanks in advance all...
Mick
