I can't seem to find replacement for the MIP at HomeDepo, and neither have 1/4-in barb ball valve...??
I know you can get the "official" adapter but on Amazon one said his broke and another said the end piece that attaches to hose falls off easily. Also triple the price of what I think I've found will work. Will the following two items work in place of the original equipment?
Amazon used to have this, but no longer. Seems odd this is all so hard to find and match up . That's assuming I got it all right? Thoughts, other part sources? TIA.
I got a Chaplin pressure tank which I had previously modded for transferring fluid but what about the coupling that threads on to the tank. The coupling is attached to the wand. Removing the hose looks risky, and potentially damage the coupling fitting. Are there aftermarket coupler fittings that can let me add a 1/4" hose ? I could cut the black hose and install a 1/4" double hose barb connecting black line to clear line. And suggestions?
As if needing a special tool for filling the 7AT transmission wasn't enough of a hassle, the fluid pumps that they sell to go with it are outrageously expensive. I decided to whip one up from a cheap garden sprayer. I've included a pic of my reciept with all the part numbers you need to grab the stuff at lowes. Screw the adapter into the fill plug. Pour a gallon of ATF in the tank, pump up the pressure, crack the ball valve and let it flow.
This plus an Assenmacher ATF 180 adapter and you're in business
update: CTA Tools 7425 also works and is half the price of the assenmacher
update: The thread pitch for the fill tube is M8x1.0, a threaded hose barb should work and, if available, may only be a few dollars. Good luck finding metric hose barbs locally
All done for less than $70.

hey sir just wondering the barb size on the 1/4” adapter? The hose is 1/4” OD so what size is the ID?
