Default Roll Control Install Part 2

Must be having a "brain-fart" day. Trying to get fittings to install the roll control. Now I am doubting the thread size on the solenoid itself. I am trying to go from the master cylinder to the roll control. This requires stepping down from the 5/16" male flair fitting down to a "confusion here" 3/16" straight or is it a 1/4" NPT.? I have been to 3 auto supply & 1 hardware store, cannot find a 5/16" female to a 3/16" male end reducer. Have brought home a few odds & ends. Now I am not sure as to the actual thread size is for the solenoid fittings. I thought they were 3/16" but...

Not sure exactly what you have, but I'm thinking your roll control valve may have 1/8" NPT or 1/4" NPT (I would guess 1/8" tapered pipe thread) and you need a fitting that goes from that to inverted flare. I assume it goes to the front brakes which is 3/16" tubing. So you will need a 1/8" NPT to 3/8-24 inverted flare.

Got the fittings installed. Thanks for all assistance. I was (am) having the kind of day where tying my shoe laces is challenging

Yep, been there. Sometimes it's best to just turn the lights off and wait for another day.
