Re: [FWDLK] Fw: Left hand lug nuts




Wayne & Jim,
I used to run a manufacturing plant where we provided parts to G.E. (Jet Engine Division), Pratt & Whitney, (Jet and Piston Engines), Rolls Royce Engines, Hawker Siddeley, Bell Helicopter, Sikorsky, North American Aviation, Thiokol, United Aircraft Ltd, and most all Gear/transmission manufacturers.
I can tell you unequivocally, left hand threads are very common, and in VERY high quality applications. The examples I have given here are the highest quality of mechanical components known to man ... NO exaggeration!

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
