    Don't see why not? Unless it's like the one I had that was solid moulded rock hard polystrene with a smattering of horsehair on top. No springs.

    You'd be able to swap them if you wanted?
     
  8. yep , just forgot them...

    When I was changing the wheels noticed there was a front flexi missing ,I don't remember robbing it ,must be one the T25...:D
     
  9. Just replied to your message :)
    One thing i have remembered is having to swap the Instrument cluster but i cant remember why?

    Heater controls, you can't put it upside down as the instruments don't point straight out, more downwards.

  11. Cheers , I want to do that anyway for kph ,I will have to make the brackets clutch/brake...

    was the ignition barrel on the same side?
     
  12. I have one in the spares box. Also have a gear stick somewhere I think.

    Column identical but you need the right type for the wiring.
    Will the loom for dash for the lefty going righty be long enough?
     
  14. Rhd to lhd must be OK as the fusebox is on the left so it is being moved closer. Layman's view perhaps

    That's what I thought. Easy for one, not for the other.
     
  16. anyone know if I can buy the front cross member lhd?

    The trouble with replacing things on the old one is the bracket on the footbrake is handed ,but if I cannot get one, I can do something ,but getting one will be ideal...

    Not sure which bit you mean? For the MC?
     
  18. no the mc just bolts on ,but the bracket does have a recess for the arkward bolt ,the footbrake has a shaft that goes through the bracket and chassis ,the clutch goes on another bracket on the cross memeber ,directly where the heater pipe goes :rolleyes:

    Just to think I was offering a free swap ,tis more difficult than I first thought ,but a joy if I had another scrap lhd...

    How about cut both in two just behind the B post and swap front halves? One big seam weld, job jobbed. :thumbsup:
