Right hand and left hand thread

[Jlg]

I’m doing some of these for @123hotchef and I need a left hand thread in one end and a right hand thread in the other they are trackrod adjusters

What's the question?

 

[Jlg]

I need a righthand thread in one end and a left hand in the other what’s the best way to do it

 

[123hotchef]

my vote would be a let hand tap and a right hand tap

Would not putting a right hand thread in one end then flipping it in the chuck not do the same

 

[Arclikeharrypotter]

Nope, unless you cut the threads on a lathe it's right and left hand tap.

Nope

Would turning a right hand nut over make it left hand.

Nope, unless you cut the threads on a lathe it's right and left hand tap.

+1 On a lathe you need to reverse the lead screw relative to the chuck to cut a left hand thread.

So what I'm trying to figure out is have it would adjust the track rod if it as a left hand and right hand thread surely that would just screw it's self along instead of adjusting it

They are going to be out of stainless but they are going to cost a lot more than them

one track rod is a left hand the other a right so when u turn the turnbuckle one way they both lengthen when you turn it the other they both shorten to adjust the toe in/out

 

[123hotchef]

they are also twice as long and will be twice as nice!

No, left and right hand threads will shorten or lengthen. Same as a load binder .
