escortmad79 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Is it possible to convert a car from LHD to RHD?
tim Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 yes it is possible but i have heard of problems with the bulk head flexing
oldbus Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 What car are you thinking about Neil? Nic eto see you over on RR too!
mossy Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 ive asked that question a few weeks back... Whole bulkhead needs to be cut out and replaced as well as the dashboard...then all the little bits like steering rack and crossmember. not worth it really!
DoireMan Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 My mechanic is currently in the process of converting a Delorean. It's taking them a long time though.
Chris! Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 ive asked that question a few weeks back... Whole bulkhead needs to be cut out and replaced as well as the dashboard...then all the little bits like steering rack and crossmember. not worth it really! with a mk1 cortina you only need to cut out a small section on the RH side for the steering box to come through and weld up the old hole on the LH side the just get RHD steering box/rack, pedal assy, dash board,

oldbus Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Did a Cortina a few years back, from rhd to lhd. Financially it wasn´t worth it but the owner didn´t care. Needed bulkhead modded, new(secondhand) pedal box, complete steering rack, brake master cylinder, dash and a weeks holiday!!! Can´t see it being worth it once you´ve finished...or are MK1 escorts too cheap over here???
