glow plug compression tester adapter

I have a harbor freight diesel compression tester and am looking for a glow plug compression tester adapter for the psd. Anyone know where to buy them?

I had to abandon my harbor freight tester for that exact reason. It seems there are only a couple of different adapters for our truck and they don't fit the harbor freight gauge without getting an adapter to change the quick fit on the gauge to fit the quick fit on the glow plug adapter. I ended up purchasing a STAR products gauge and adapter from an online tool place. I think it was the toolsource. I still have the harbor freight gauge but I have not tried finding the adapter to make it work. The tool source had an adapter that I think would work. But at the time, I needed it to work and could not take the chance of blowing another week on ordering the wrong connector.

I bought my setup from one of the local tool trucks. I also build an adapter from and old glow plug and a piece of pipe with the fitting on the other end that will fit your gauge.

Any chance of some pictures of this tool, and maybe a "How To" write-up?
