Air Pump Connector for Yam 330s

Hi have just purchased a Waveline Rechargeable Air pump and none of the Connectors match. After some soul searching I belive mine is a Bravo 2000 the valve is made in italy The adapter that fits the foot pump is smaller in diameter than the ones that came with the Wavline. I have also had to dremmel some of it so that it locks in place. It was too thick. You can see how thinner it is. Does anyone know where I may be able to get one of these from. I know I can use the ones to make up something but I have to hold them in place while it inflates rather than just being able to leave it.

The one that fits is on the right

Thanks

I had the same problem and the bravo fitting where thinner and more fragile than the Halkey Roberts ones. At first I made a 3D printed adapter, but later I just swapped out the valves in one of mine for HR style replacements. The baskets inside the tubes where the same threading so it was a simple swap.

I have managed to make up a piece using 20mm conduit and conduit conector. I super glued and heated one end to accept the Waveline adaptor and superglued the Bravo end which was a tight fit. Then drilled a pilot hole each end to accept a very smaller tap screw so they wont budge. Finished with gorilla tape to tube to hide screws. Bit of a frankensten monster but will do the job 👍
