hmm... need to link 2 studs that have different threads, I think 2 of these would work.
does anyone know what this is called and where I can find it

That looks like a lifeline arrangement?.... oops.... just looked back and see the pic is labeled lifeline something. You prbably will not find a thread adaptor, as the smaller would be the "weakest link in the chain". The clevis pins are sized to the thread size, the thread sized to the wired size. Put a new end of the proper size on it and be safe(r).

My first thought is it's part of a roller furler attachment but different 'stud' threads won't fit into my brain either.
?Johnson bar?

CSJohnson makes something like that, called a “Lifeline adjuster” but only for 1/4”pins.

What’s your application? Lifeline’s? What sizes? Where?
Have you considered using two eye nuts of different sizes and lashing them with dynema?

Appears to be a clevis to me. Unsure where it would work, perhaps a backstay adjuster, shroud stay, etc.
Johnson Marine LL short adjuster, PN 233303, here is one might come in different sizes

all very interesting but way too pricey. was trying to find a cheap way to use my original hardware, anything with the johnson name I avoid because of price. all it is is a bent piece of flat stainless with 3 holes. thanks though
How about thread adapters?
https://www.mcmaster.com/thread-adapters
McMaster doesn't allow linking directly to the page but click on the link for thread adapters and down toward the bottom are female to female adapters, and see if they have the combo you need. Of course you have to pay for shipping . Fastenal might also have it.
Of course if you have a tap set you can make your own adapter from blank stock.

That is a good suggestion. I often have to rediscover McMaster's. I'm not sure why it keeps falling off of my radar but I have used them several times in the past. You can usually find just about anything hardware related there if you know how to search the site.
Working with SS is pretty easy if you have the right tools; drill press, hack saw, vise, grinder, etc. A malleable metal to work with for an assortment of boat projects. Our local metal shop supplies bulk SS and other metals (brass, aluminum, iron, etc.) at reasonable prices. They will cut any amount you want to the exact size you need. Need it bent, twisted or whatever, too.
Made this bracket to solve a furler drum problem. Purchased the 1" x 1/4" x 12" SS bar from the local metal shop cut to length (purchase two, one as a spare in case I messed up) for around $7.00. Took maybe an hour to drill and grind to fit. Purchased the SS fasteners at Tacoma Screw.
From the looks of it, with a few tools, you should be able to fabricate that SS clevis.
Browsing the West Marine sale email today and came across your lifeline adjuster at a great price:
