How to fit a regulator to the new Sodastream bottles

I have fitted a regulator to the new style sodastream bottle for dispensing from cornies.
The problem with the widget world system etc is that you cant apply a constant pressure for dipensing like I can with my pub gas bottle and regulator. But the pub bottle is not easily taken to a party etc. So after a lot of searching I found this:

It fits the new style thread on the 60L aluminium sodastream bottles and the regulator attaches to the other end. It works perfectly.

I did originally buy another adapter from a UK company which was milled from aluminium but it was poorly manufactured and leaked gas. When I emailed the company about the problem, they accused me of damaging it. So found this instead and German engineering seems to be the way to go.

Hope it's of interest.

And with the gas setup being this small, I plan to get hold of a round ice coolbox that will just fit my baby corny and the sodastream bottle/reg inside. I can then fit a kegerator tap through the wall of the coolbox for a party keg setup that just dispenses cold beer without having to faff about squirting gas in.
