Hi all please help.

I purchased a smith little torch and im going to use a disposable gas bottle, and an oxygen compensator.
I have purchased a Smith propane regulator for deposable fuel cylinders, i had to purchase it from America because i couldn't find one in the uk, so being the case, the regulator has the American gas thread on it's outlet. 9/16-18 b type thread
My smith little torch has English BSP tail connectors on the hose ends.

does anybody know where i can purchase a uk to American gas thread converter connector, so i can connect my American regulator to the British tail ends on the smith torch ?

below is my regulator

Hi, most members are now furiously working at their seasonal orders, so if you get no answers hers you could phone Cookson, or Tufnell Glass http://www.tuffnellglass.com/contents/en-uk/p1372.html

There's also this company:

Try giving them a ring if you can't find what you need on their site. I bought my regulator from them.
