I'm a bit confused about what, exactly, you want... is it something to
go from an N connector "chassis mount" socket's center pin to a 3/8-24
stud? Or some sort of adapter to go between the N series 5/8"-24
thread and a 3/8"-24 thread? A picture would probably be worth lots of
words...

See Ebay item number 380322578383. This device connects the center
conductor of an SO239 to a 3/8"-24 bolt upon which a tall nut is
screwed. To use it, you stick it up through a piece of metal (say, a
bracket), put an insulating washer on that, add the tall nut, then put a
whip adapter in the nut. I want something like that for an N-connector.

Or just use something like this with the SO-239...
