hey guys, i need a part,

on a strut brace you get those adjusters which you change the length of the strutbrace for a good fit.

the thing with a left and a right thread.

WTF are they called.

and a turnbuckle is close but not right lol

Windlass.. My dad thinks...

He thinks a turnbuckle is the more right name.


Turnbuckle
A metal coupling device consisting of an oblong piece internally threaded at both ends into which the corresponding sections of two threaded rods are screwed in order to form a unit that can be adjusted for tension or length.

Left hand threads :( Lots of dies for a smaller amount of parts produced = cost.
