    Need assistance--looking for an adapter

    I need an adapter to go from the standard scuba regulator LP port to a 1/4-in NPT thread. My intention is to use a scuba cylinder (with an old regulator) to drive an airbrush. I have a regulator that will reduce the pressure from the scuba IP to the 20-40 psi needed for the airbrush. Problem is all of the airbrush fittings are 1/4-inch NPT. Suggestions are appreciated.

    There is a guy on e-bay that sells the bushing.

    eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
    This is the link for the one I purchased.

    I use mine to clean out hoses after I give them a bath in Simple Green crystal cleaning liquid and water.

    Hope this helps, Jim breslin

    I've been able to have some rather strange hoses made up at hydraulic supply and repair places.
