By the way...the clamping nut on the Bugs was the same way.� There was a left 
and a right.� They tightened in the opposite direction of the forward turning 
wheel.� So if you happened to not tighten them, then could still loosen based on 
load, but they would do so very slowly as opposed to jumping right off if they 
tightened in the same direction.

You got that right. Everything safety wired to pull the bolt, nut,
screw in a tightening direction - and to hold it there - never to back
out or turn backward.
