I believe the Vark bar uses 3/8 threads, so you would probably need 3/8 > 5/8 thread adapters, unless of course your shockmounts came with a pair.

Frankly, having adapters is something that EVERY taper should have ready access to in their gear bag. 

I always have a couple of 1/4-20 > 5/8 adapters and 3/8 > 5/8 adapters handy for when I need them. 

The 1/4-20 are for the top of a light stand and the 3/8 > 5/8 are for many of the t-bars that have 3/8 inch hardware. 

This also is universally handy for the top of light stands and mating with the vark bar although it's not directly related to the question you asked.
