A few pics showing a HM1000x regulator tester, compared to a standard Rapid reg tester. The prior made by converting a Best Fitting tester.

Are these available? I won't have to bug Martin so much

The RAW/Theoben regulator tester is available from Best Fitting in the UK, but it is the smaller thread size as mentioned above. I can't find the larger thread size available anywhere to purchase. I purchased two of the Best Fittings reg testers with the small thread size and use one for my older RAW's, and then used my lathe to open the thread size to fit the later, larger regulator thread size.

Yeah, I bought the "Best Fitting" tester and realized it was too small for my HM1000x regulator.
I didn't feel my inexpensive Harbor Freight lathe was up to the task .

- Another (AGN) member Corny, machined mine to 3/4" - 16 UNF for free.

I just machined a part to convert the tester between the two thread sizes….so now I can test both sizes
