Default Bulkhead Adapter

I am in need a bulkhead adater. I have checked the usual sources with no luck. What I need is a to adapt a -2 female fitting (5/16-24 thread) to a -3 female fitting (3/8-24 thread). This will be done through the engine baffel so I would like to do it with a bulkhead fitting. So far the only way that I have come up with to do it is with AN816 fittings and a AN910 cupling. Maybe this is the best way but I would prefer to recuce the parts count and just use one fitting.
If anyone has a source of a fitting that will work for this I would appreciate that information.

Regards,
Chuck

I tell ya, them there females are difficult to convert, the following may help you figure some stuff out.

tech page for size to different size see Adapters One Size to Another http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com...f/ftgadapt.pdf

Be advised, read the note about the AN894, it seals at the female base with an o-ring.

If you still need help, let me know the specific parts #'s you are starting with.

Best Wishes!

Default Bulkhead Fitting

Thanks for the link, Tom.
What I am looking for is like an AN919-0 but a bulkhead fitting instead of an adapter.

Regards,
Chuck
