For crying out loud quit over thinking this thing. Just bust the porcelain out of an old spark plug, then tap the hole with a 1/4 pipe tap. Thread in a 3 inch piece of pipe nipple, and screw a male air hose fitting on the other end, and your done.

Lol. I guess we should just do what tools said. Simple is better.

That is a fine idea if those are the proper sizes. I'm bad about needing specifics. Also, if we were able to find a local solution that wouldst been handy. Besides, I wasn't sure if a solid piece would allow the tool to go in.

Regardless, I have a 12 mm x 1/4" airline flexible hose made up now. Ill post a pic later to verify the air line end is correct. After all there are many different ends.

Lets see if this'll work.If it looks right send me your address and I'll get it to you. The 14mm end does have a schrader valve in it still in case you ever want it. Of course it screws right out for what you want it to do. You should be able to screw your 12mm adapter right on to the end of this 14mm end. Best I can tell ,from the link to the tool you have, it should work. I would suggest verifying that but I wouldn't want to overthink things too much. Does this look like the fitting that'll jive with your air line?
