Oops! I hadn't checked before ordering, even though I had the rods removed and photos of them, but it looks like they are LEFT HAND thread. I went out of my way to track down the rose joint in that format so now I need to either swap the rose joints or find new ball joint in M12 RIGHT HAND thread.

The perils of impatience and a workshop 25 miles away.

I bought the bits from McGill Motorsports and they were very quick to reply to questions and to despatch, so hopefully they will be ok about swapping the rose joint since it hasn't even been near the workshop, let alone the underside of the car.
