Hi

When I was working on a 1929 Mulliner saloon recently I found that the left-hand side of the wooden frame had been assembled using left-hand threaded brass screws.  I think these are original as the rest of the car has not been messed with.  A few of these screws are shown in the picture below.  Has anyone else come across them please?  Why would they do this – I don’t think the Austin factory used them?  Would this help stop the screws loosening when the frame shifts on accelerating/braking/cornering??
