Re: Spark plug tire inflator
How about I pay shipping to the contiguous 48?
$50.00 and I will mail it to you.
(Sure would like to offer it world-wide, but I am skeptical of the shipping charges, so can't do that...sorry. Dave)

Re: Spark plug tire inflator
Dave,
As you probably know,your inflator is adaptable to Model T by brazing a 1/4" black coupling to the bottom part of a T plug with good threads,then just screw in a hose adapter. Unhook the hose from the late plug unit and clamp it on the T one. Handy unit to carry on T tours. The down side,you're going to get a slight amount of gasoline inside your innertube.

Re: Spark plug tire inflator
Steve, why would you get gasoline in the inner tube? Those use compression to run a pump that compresses clean outside air, at least the one that I have does. Dave

It's a sparkplug inflater. You take out a sparkplug,screw the adapter into the plug hole and air-fuel mixture under pressure from the compression stroke is not exploded in the cylinder but is forced through the hose into the tire.

Re: Spark plug tire inflator
Steve, read the label on the box, "Pumps Only Clean Fresh Air" , no gasoline exhaust, gas or oil. It goes on to explain how it works. Bring the label in on close up and you can read it.

Re: Spark plug tire inflator
Steve, there is a ball check valve in the device which permits only clean outside air to be pumped into the tire.
No air/gas mixture into the tire....as Dave S. said.
