[DeTomaso] Which axles on which side?

[Julian Kift]

Mike,

Think of it as wanting the nut self tightening when the axle is in it's normal (forward) plane of motion. As the axle nut is on the inside edge of the wheel on the Pantera the left side is left hand thread, this is opposite to what you would find on a wheel center lock spinner where the left wheel is right hand thread.

Sinestro is derived from the latin 'sinister' or 'evil' as left handed was considered to be touched by the Devil, Destra comes from 'correct' or 'proper'.

Julian

S= Sinestro or Left (the Sinister hand that holds the sword when dueling
with the Romans) that goes on the Left side (drivers side)
Mike, you win the prize for getting this one correct
