So the guy has not seen application where left hand threads were required! He should to talk to G.E. or Prat & Whitney or Westinghouse.-Rolls Roice ect. When you are assembling turbines whit rotating masses that way over 800 lbs you torque the nuts up to 3000 lbs foot and stretch them 100 degres.And yes some are left hand.The torque and stretch are called out in the book and you better pay attenshion.Feel free to forward to list.Jim McMullan 300F
