Elgin is wrong. I am not aware there is a reliable adaptor to do what you want. But there may be a work around. The DC08 head you have, measure across the inside of the tube hole. What does it measure in mm? Also a photo of the tool ends of old and new would help. You are correct this is a minefield. Especially with DC08 and DC19 heads. Why we sell >these<.The other problem you have is any head that is bigger than your original will struggle to spin very fast as the DC22 is a smaller machine than normal with less suction than a full size cylinder.
