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?

Can you explain further? It looks the same as those l have on my wheels.

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.
