Homebrew Keg Kits

What part am I missing from my Homebrew “gas inflow” kit for kegging??
I bought a “gas dispensing unit” (from Austin Home Brew) to connect my CO2 tank (regulator) with my keg, but the hose does not fit into the end of the regulator.
I need to know, what part am i missing? I searched into the website of AustinHBrew and guess the part is called FFL fitting 1/4″, but I need someone with experience to tell me what am I missing?? Thanks! Check this photos …. http://www.flickr.com/photos/22966682@N04/
I’m not 100% sure just from looking at your pics, but it looks like the only thing you’re missing is the nipple to attach the hose to the reg.
The system is pretty easy, just CO2 tank -> Reg -> Hose -> gas hookup… you have the hookup, hose, reg and tank, so it *looks* like you just need the one nipple to fit the hose to the bottom threaded piece on your reg.
Wosrt case scenario, if you picked up your setup from AustinHomeBrew, call up Forrest and ask him… show him those pictures and ask if they forgot a piece or something. If it’s his system, he’ll know exactly what part you need.
