ummm... that would be insulting my lack of knowledge, not my

         Anyone with direct experience who can tell me if these are
left-hand thread? these are the copper-line fittings right at the propane
tank, on an '85 Westy.

         If it does turn out that I can't get this off without copper-line
butchery, can anyone tell me if I can replace these with good-old US spec
copper, or do I need to get some $pecial euro-$pecific copper line and
fittings?
