Has any converted a LHD car to RHD ?
Is it just a matter of getting the equivalent parts and bolting them on or does the body shell need modification ?
How is the pedal box connected to the servo/master cylinder since this stays in the same place.

Cheers Bob

I have both LHD and RHD.

Clutch cyl should be just fine...the pedals dough...i dont know.
The battery and the area surrounding it is completely different from the RHD to the LHD...many things are different.

However if you have a good LHD car and want it RHD...maby i can help. i have a RHD 931 with no engine in it....i mean..it has a NA engine but its not installed.

alexvex. I live in England and have an early German LHD car.

Morghen. Thanks for the offer but I think the distaces involved would make it a costly and difficult transaction.

Cheers Bob

you would just have to come and pick it up with a trailer...its a max 5000 Km trip...not more.

If i cant get any of you guys to come pick it up i'll restore it and drive it to UK. In that case i need a 931 S2 engine.
