"Normal" thread for a bolt.
I want to order some rose joints, just want them to be totally conventional thread, like any normal nut or bolt on a car (ie same way round as a coke bottle top)
Is that called lefthand or righthand thread though?
I assume its rightand, as it means that if you are looking at a circle the top moves to the right to be clockwise.

Because of those stupid americans that insist on sticking with the imperial sytem you will find that you have less of a range to choose from if you want metric rod ends.

"normla" is right hand therad
the other way is left hand threaded (most of the new fords have left hand thread screwed in towing eyes )
but then you have meandered into the minefield that is american thread sizes and pitches which even americans don't understand
it was bad enough when we had it over here with the spanners and stuff witht eh likes of whitworth, af, bsn or whatever they were back in the 20's and that sort of
most uk threads are now a stndard size, Metric 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, etc and are commonly available, but start talking old school (or even plumbing) and it's confusion all around
