I'm trying to hook up my ARB's to my new york compressor but it seems the solenoids for the ARBs are metric? Any suggestions? the rest of my stuff is all 3/8

They a fawked! Part of them is NPT and part of them is Brittish pipe thread. I have used 3/16 swagelok fittings and got them to work but yes the hose is metric.

Any machine shop will be able to make you an adapter from the BPT to NPT just tell them what you need and they can turn it out in no time.

Or go to a fitting shop like Parker and they have adapter fittings (all kinds of them).

But I thought I heard that 1/8 NPT ...WILL.. fit in the 1/8 BPT solenoid ports.

As far as the axle end, 3/16" fittings will fit (which are actual 3/8-24).

1/8 NPT can be FORCED into 1/8BPT, but it is not the same.
I just ordered some BPT fittings from Hose and Fitting Supply (Parker Store) in West Sac. Took over three weeks to get them, on a rush shipment! <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
I ordered a fitting from Central Four Wheel Drive, and they had it in two days!!!
They also kicked down fifteen feet of tubing for free!! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
