Kevin,

I recommend strongly against Klaus's suggestion to make an adapter from sheet metal. A hand-made adapter is bound to fit incorrectly, causing leaks. Furthermore, there is a good chance that the adapter, being of (harder) steel, will score or otherwise damage the bit, being of (softer) brass.

Temporarily, until you get the right bit, just wrap one of your standard bits with masking tape (doesn't take much tape!). The tape will conform to the larger female receiver, forming an airtight seal without scratching.
