They would have been from the factory but often the studs have been changed to all RH.

i think Blue means 7/16 UNF correct me if I'm wrong Blue and yes the left hand side should have left hand threads

thanks chaps, threads are all 'normal'. The history of the axle is unknown to me.

I'm really thick about this (and other matters), but if i order the quoted size from North Hants tyres, will i be good to go? Sorry bout seemingly daft info, but i'm really trying to finish everything in time for Garys picnic event.
