Freeze 12 Help Low end connector J-Rat

I ordered a freeze 12 kit on ebay thinking it would be the solution to my a/c problems. People have said that it works as well as r-12 and it alot cheaper. Well I ordered a kit on ebay everything was there but the low end connecter had the wrong thread pattern. It connected to the low end fill area but did not hook up to the hose with the kit. Anyone have this probelm before. I know j-rat got his filled, if your out there J-Rat what did you use to fill your system. Any help would be great. It is hot as hell here in Orlando.
Thanks,
Chris

shouldn't the kit come with an adapter so that you can thread the new hose onto it? that's how mine came in. But i found out that you don't even need it. THe freeze 12 bottles screw right up to the R-12 filler hose. Should be much much easier since the hose they gave me with the freeze 12 sucked and leaked air. =\

If the connector does not fit, you are not on the low end, or bought a R134 hose kit.

Perhaps you are confusing the low end with the high end... the high end has a smaller fitting than the low end so that it is idiot proof... so if your hose/adapter is too big for the mazda fitting you were planning on using, well, perhaps you are on the wrong Mazda fitting and are trying to use the high end of the system.
