of course it's easy to
cut a left-hand thread on a lathe. But I have never seen LH nuts an bolts
listed by any company in the UK. But I've not seriously looked for them.
PTS (or someone like them) could probably make them up if you really
wanted them...
Though given that the standard is right-handed, I'd file left-handed
under "use only if you want to screw with peoples' minds". Pun not
