A little history...I've made hundreds of similar parts, all the same design with different thread sizes and pitches (both RH and LH) and different "stem" or nose configurations. Never ran into this before. Also seems different supplier had same problem with this part. Personally this seems like...
Fixture is not "threaded rod" it it a precision machined thread with mating "face" for face end of thread to bottom out against. fixture is bored thru and ground for a nice slip fit on a ground "post" about which the whole fixture/part revolves. part mat'l is 4150H, all finishes including...
