Hi mike<br /> You can make one up using a extra L/U plug. I use the screw adapters that come with the gear oil pumps. Most of the time they come with the oil when you buy a quart or a gal. I think I have seen just the pumps for sale.

I cut a valve stem off a bike tube, ground a light taper on the blunt end and screwed it in finger tight.
