Re: [DML] Re: Broken torsion bar

In a word: No. Think left handed and right handed threads on a pair of 
bolts - they're twisted in opposite directions.

With thanks to a good friend on this list, I recently tracked down a few 
driver side torsion bars but I've now found the broken end of the one 
that came with my project car so I'm taking a punt and having it welded. 
So far 3 successes and no failures but also no guarantees...
