Jim:

Call MSC Industrial Supply Co. 800 645-7270 (incomplete Web site, 
under development: www.mscdirect.com). Good telephone service, fast 
delivery, no hassles. I recall that they may have a minimum, but it 
was reasonable (maybe $25.00).

They list a range of LH sizes (you didn't really mean 1/2 x 20, did you?):

Lefthand Plain Steel Jam Nuts
#67478040 1/4-20 $5.88/100
#67478206 1/2-13  35.18/100
and many others as well.
