VIAIR compressor to ARB locker manifold

I've got an VIAIR compressor 400c with a 2 gal tank installed. I just had my rear ARB installed. The problem I see is the ARB manifold where the solenoid is located has BSPT threads. Is there a conversion or adapter to npt?
 
Yes they make adapters, what do you need?
 
You need to say what size and male/female for each end???
 
Here's how I plumbed my front and rear ARB's, powered by a ViAir 450C.

Odd I can't see any of your pics. I figured out the air line adapter concerns I had. I didn't realize there was paperwork in the box the locker came in, it had the information I was looking for. Yesterday I was looking for a good place for mounting the air tank. The compressor is already mounted where the spare tire used to be. I was going to mount the tank above the compressor. After pulling the plastic panel off and seeing the lack of structure behind it, I'm going to have to rethink how I'm going to mount it. To bad there's not more space under the XJ. I'd rather mount it down there.
 
What type of bumpers and sliders do you have? I've used them many times as air tanks!
 
Well it was an interesting voyage to say the least but here's what I came up with. I purchased the seven switch center dash panel. I added a CB radio and a GMRS/HAM radio plus a lighted CB whip. Replaced the center console brace with a metal one. I also mounted the compressor, tank, water separator, regulator and ARB solenoid. Let's here what you think.
 
Where's the pics ???
 
2 Gallon tank. My ARB front locker is run by an ARB compressor that has a tank that is probably less than a pint size. You dont need such a larger tank. I can activate my locker several times with the air stored in my tiny tank.
 
I also use this air system to fill my tires. I don't believe my older style pump produces as much cfm as your ARB pump does. So I prefer to have the volume in storage. Also my tank has a constant 150 psi in it. So it shuts off at 150psi and comes back on at 110psi. And with the volume I have the pump almost never comes on after it's up to pressure and only operating the locker. But I did get the little ARB manifold tank kit so when I add the second locker I will utilize that in the system to mount both solenoids.
