Default Ring RAC635 12V Preset Digital Tyre Inflator

Hi,

I've just bought one of these from Amazon but the screw connector to the tyre valve won't fit the air valve adaptor I have to use with my BBS Detroit Alloys.





Can anyone suggest a solution or should I send the thing back?

I have the same wheels. You need a tyre inflator with a right angle connector on it, rather than the straight one on the inflator you have bought.

This is very similar to my pump:-

The end that doesn't screw into the wheel is just too big to screw into the connector on the inflator.

Yes, I already have a footpump with that type of connector on which fits fine but I've never seen this screw on type of connector before & was wondering if there is any way to get it to fit.
