I don't remember any left hand nuts when I restored my 75...but then i've been to sleep a good few times since then.... 
Growing up is optional...

Re: Rudder stock healey 75
Hi there, further to your post on the rudder gland/stuffing box, I was going to take mine apart over the winter to replace the gland packing, because whilst in use last season it was letting in some considerable amount of water ! but my other on going project (Moonfleet) has somewhat taken over, so, as soon as I get to work on it I will put a note on here 
However, you may have "sussed" it by then, 
but as Healey 75 pointed out I cannot recall it being a left hand thread the last time I replaced the gland packing 
I presume you have the original one though ? maybe a good idea to post a pic. if you can .
