Left-hand vs. right-hand thread

Most links need one left-hand and one right-hand end so you can adjust the length.

  1. A right-hand (RH) thread tightens clockwise like a normal bolt. A left-hand (LH) thread tightens the other way.
  2. On an adjustable link, put a RH joint on one end and a LH joint on the other. Spinning the tube then makes the link longer or shorter.
  3. Order the matching jam nut and tube adapter for each end: an LH joint needs an LH jam nut and LH tube adapter.
  4. Example for one 2.63" link with 1.25"-12 threads: 1x BJ-675-27 (RH) + 1x BJ-675-28 (LH), JAM-719 (RH) + JAM-720 (LH), plus RH and LH tube adapters.
