If i cannot get any left hand thread bolts.I thought of having some wheel adapters made and change the pcd.Then use my old wheel bolts to hold the wheel adapter to the hub.Then i will have more common right hand thread bolts.Do you know anyone make the adapters.Thanks Pete i am pulling my hair out.

you could get a local machine shop to make em.... other than that, yes if they are made well they are safe.. but it also relys on you not cross threading them and making sure the adaptor is done up as tight as you would a wheel, which is obviously harder than doing up a wheel as you can put it on the ground... make sure your handbrake is good or get a helper to stamp on the middle pedal

Mk2 and Mk3 transits have opposable thread (twin wheel, six stud) so maybe the Mk3 are still available.

Wheel nuts don't really go up that tight though, do they... Seems to average about 100Nm (75ish ft-lbs) so getting them tight enough wont be a problem, never ceases to amaze me how tight people think wheels should go...
A good Impact driver can do 400ft-lbs plus, so i wouldn't dream of doing wheels up with one!
I'd say a lil loctite on the threads for the adaptor wouldn't go amiss...
