A way to make 1 nut push two bolts in opposite directions

[toffypops]

I am trying to make a gadget where i have two bolts going into 1 big nut. I want the nut to SEPARATE the bolts in separate directions, and close the gap reversing it. How can i achieve this? Soon no more hair left...PM me on Face 😛

I notice that the barrels on both sides are threaded.  The answer is a long nut with RH threads on one end and LH threads on the other with matching threads on the barrels.  This is how a turnbuckle works is everyday life.  Turn it one way it tightens, whatever is hooked to the ends and the other way it loosens.
