Oh, that's right!!! Forgot the "spanner" that holds the nut is on the moving
portion of the strap!

My question is...... since the nut is kept from rotating by the
"spanner"..... and the bolt is welded to the bracket.... What would it matter,
if the LHT side stud and nut were replaced with RHT hardware?? I'm at a loss
to why they went to the LHT trouble on them originally, if both threaded
pieces are locked in place......

Think about it. You are moving the doors in different directions. One side
would be loosening the fitting while the other tightened.
