left hand thread jam nut

[Dr. Yankem]

Does anyone know where I can get left hand 440 nuts to use as a jam nut. The flying wires on my 42% Ultimate use dubro turnbuckles which has a right hand jam nut on one end, but the left hand side can only be secured by safety wiring it. That becomes a problem if you have to tighten your flying wires. If I can find a left hand 440 jam nut, then it's a simple matter of loosening both nuts and making the adjustment with the turnbuckle and then rejamming the nuts.

vtailman...when you say the short wire side, you mean the thread without the nut (left hand thread) is facing the wing, and the jam nut side is facing the cabane ? Are you using blue loctite? BTW this is the opposite of the way the picture of the assembly of the flying wires came with the aeroworks kit.
meanwhile I emailed jerry nelson to see if he has any left hand thread 440s.
Thanks for the replies
