CO2 adapter

[badersbus]

Hi All
Wondered if anyone can help out.
I have a argon guage and want to use co2 pub gas bottles which i have a supply of. The argon guage is male fitting and the co2 bottle only accepts the female type nut.
where can i get the female adpater to screw into my argon guage so i can screw it on the the pub bottle.
Could any one make me one or point me in the right direction to source one
thanks for any help
Kirk

There are adapters available but a new regulator is about the same cost last time I looked

Thing is they are removing them for customers requirements and charging all that for one ! and the postage !!

Thanks for the heads up mike. May be still cheaper than buying a new complete guage though
cheers Kirk

a new regulator from weldequip (decent reg not the rubbish peddled on ebay) is about £30 from memory. plus the old fitting with be really hard to remove as many use lock tight during assembly
