Here is a list of the parts I need connectors for. All I need to know is sizes of everything, such as thread size, tube size, etc.

Connectors for:

Storage Tanks
Norgen/Monnier Regulator

And does anyone have a link to a site where I can buy the vibration mounts for the compressor. I just don't know the size of the threads.

Thanks.
Here's some links to the the various push-to-connect fittings you'll need:

The tubing in the KoP is 1/4" OD. Most of the pneumatic components use 1/8" NPT for threaded connections, although some like the accumulators and compressor have 1/4" NPT fittings. The vibration mounts have #8-32 thread, and are basically identical to the ones sold at Vex Robotics.
