LHD to RHD conversion

  1. I had a dream last night ,that I took all my right hand parts off the pickup and someone came in August [en France] with their left Hooker and it a couple of days it was RHD...:chewie::chewie:

    They drove into the sunset very happy....:cool:

    I am in France for the Very long term and want Henry`s steering wheel on the better side...

    Roll up roll up,once in a lifetime offer...:D

    :worship:

  3. Got a few lhd parts here, pedals etc from when I swapped mine back from the dark side
     
  4. tell me more ,have you the dash etc..
     
  5. Is this a new service you are offering?
    Book up for camping with @lost-en-france drive your LHD in and leave RHD

    I would be up for that if you could switch my slider over too :)
     
  6. errm do you have any more interesting dreams that we can em ulate only i already have rhd and errrm i was just wondering :oops:
     
  7. I'd say it'd be much easier to sell your RHD and Buy a LHD, you may even end up with cash in your pocket too.
     
  8. Henry the pickup is special....;)

    This is a strong possibility, I'd like to drive my LHD around a bit first to see if I hate it though, I'm thinking it'll be on the road in April but that could be optimistic. The single cab that is, so could make the swap reasonably straightforward .
    Mine's single/double seat set up so a bit of welding required to swap sides!
     
  14. have you still got them?

    I am going to bite the bullet and buy all the things required ,I have a local who is willing ...;)

    Is there any interest in buying all my rhd stuff?

    or last chance to come in your lhd and leave rhd....:D

    Should do what a garage used to do in Herne Bay with Minis. Import LHD from Belgium, buy RHD parts from BL. Return the LHD parts claiming they were defective RHD parts for credit.

    Somebody at BL noticed in the end so maybe the idea doesnt work..
     
  18. I was not planning to touch that....:thinking:

    I had a look at the master cylinder and all the pedals , I think they will all go on the otherside ,and the steering bits,plus with my fuse box been on the lhs all my switches will have more wire?

    I noticed the brake and clutch had brackets ,do you cut them off or just make replacements?
