Americans i need a rad pressure tester adapter

[rob101]

hello american people, I am looking to get an adapter for using a pressure tester on the cooling system of my m50. I got a price from Baum tools wihch was $58 USD plus shipping which seems alot. Are there any other good places i can get them off who deal internationally. I am not even going to bother looking around here (in Australia), as I do not really feel the urge to go talk to clowns.

those aren't cheap. 58 usd sounds a little excessive, but i might expect to pay that much from a retail store in the us. then again, i'm not bill or winfred, don't have the sources that others may.

The BMW adapter (#12030) for my Stant pressure tester cost nearly as much as the complete standard (#12270) Stant pressure tester kit.
I got one on eBay a few years ago for about $20.
The Stant BMW radiator adapter is a nice piece of work. Threading the adapter to match the BMW Rad. cap I'm sure makes it one of the more costly adapters to make.
I don't know if it's possible to adapt a regular Rad. cap for the pressure tester. It might be feasible for personable use. But if your a pro working on BMW's definitely go with the Stant products all the way. Or similar pro tools...

I have the basic Stant kit already. Thanks.

Yes, you can pressure test the Rad. cap as well as the radiator and the rest of the cooling system with the Stant #12030 BMW adapter.

the cap needs it's own tester, another $60-70 chunk of cnc machined aluminum cramed up your ass by the tool guy
