I have the same compressor. Please report back when you get your hose modified. I have not found anything that will work yet.
1. Remove the OEM quick disconnect fitting
2. Use a 1/4-18 NPT tap (smear grease on the tap) and run it in part way, then remove it clean the debris, repeat the process, till it's done.
Keep the hole down if not using grease on the tap so when you tap the shavings fall out.
OR... Remove the head (4 socket head cap screws on top) and put it in a vise. Make sure and pay attention to the gaskets and intake "plenum" when you disassemble the head so you can put it back together correctly.
By doing this you can use any standard 1/4-18 NPT fitting and then add a standard Quick disconnect, air hose and chuck.
Remember this in not a large compressor and is not designed to run air tools. It only puts out 2.5 CFM and has a has a duty cycle of no longer than 40 minutes.

I take for granted that the OEM thread in the head is a metric thread. Do you know what the OEM threads are ?
Do you have ability to measure the thread pitch and outside of the male thread and weather it's straight or tappered ?
It would be easier for me to get matric to SAE adapter than to tap a new thread.
So far everyone that has this little compressor says it works OK for toping off tires, Thats what I'm looking for plus the ability to keep my Airbags to proper inflation. Don't want to spend the BIG bucks that Ride-rite wants for a pump kit.
