I am looking for a left and right hand threaded bar/rod, M8 by around 100mm long (4 inches) I could make one however I do not have reverse on my lathe so screwcutting the left hand thread section is not an option and if they readily available it is easier to buy a couple. Can anyone point me in the direction of such a thing please?

Could you not get one from a fence wire tensioner or the like, im just trying to think where I have seen something, I have got about half a dozen metre lengths of M8 studding in the shed but its all RH

Maybe a little late, but I tend to use:
http://www.gilbertlaurence.co.uk/ for threaded products.
As pe4king says - a fence wire tensioner or those used for decorative stainless steel wire ropes. They have a left and right - one on each end.
http://www.jakob.co.uk/products/jakob-s ... ropes.html. Download the Stainless Steel Ropes and Fittings catalogue, go to page 105 (PDF sheet 53) and there are double ended screws or LH and RH headless screws.
