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.

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.
