Help with compressor intake filters

[Alexfn]

Hi

i am trying to replace some intake filters on a v-twin 50ltr compressor bought from lidl, the plastic ones got knocked about a bit and eventually fell apart,

The trouble is i have since ordered 2 sets online and neither fit, i ordered plastic 3/8BSP 16mm ones first and they are really close to fitting, maybe 1mm out, i thought it must be a badly made part so ordered metal ones for a bit more.. nope... the same anyone else had this problem or give me a clue on what size might be right

thanks

alex

Why not measure the thread (diameter and thread pitch in metric or imperial to find which gives sensible values) that it has to fit on/in and start from there, either to make an adaptor or to get a filter specified by the thread.

Seems they are 15mm, 19/32 and have been sold on amazon at some point.. No longer for sale
Seems impossible to get a adapter and cant make one as i dont have a lathe
