I've been fixing up an early v2 Silvia, and was looking at replacing the swivelling steam wand. I have a few ball joint steam wands lying around from some em6900, which seems to use 3/8 BSP threads, so I though ordering a Silvia steam adapter fitting on Ebay which is advertised as fitting the v1/v2
But it doesn't fit. It looks like an M8 thread, but the threads on my machine looks to be 1/16 BSP. Does anyone know the exact fitting sizes on the early v2?

From the looks of it, I could possibly also use a female - male 1/4 BSP to 3/8 BSP fitting, which I believe are the thread sizes for the swivelling and ball joint steam wands respectively?
Edit: in the first picture, new adapter from Ebay at the top, the adapter currently used with the swivelling steam wand at the bottom. Last picture: the adapter does't go into the steam valve at all.
Edit: my BSP sizes might be completely off.
