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.
