Lhd convertions

[xpackken]

Just been noticeing alot of lhd mk1 mk2 escorts for sale lately , how much is involved in converting them back to right hand drive ??????

 

i will possibly look at doing one if the car i am hoping to buy falls through

[escort21]

I think they already have the holes so it would just be spanner work but don't quote me on that

[xpackken]

So am I right inthinking that its just steering rack an colum , dash and pedal box ? And suppose if its a modified project ie 2.0 sr20 and trick bits that stuff would be coming of anyway and fitted with better after market stuff !

I looked into buying a lhd mk2 escort...Escort Agency wanted £250 for parts needed to convert....but loads of money to convert if they were doin it.....they were talking about bulkhead, scuttle....i personally would have thought, just pedal box etc, and would have made a hole for the column.......God knows......

Ive just started to change my left hooker to rhd gotta get a rhd metal dash panel, pedal box mount under bulkhead , the reinforcing plate where clutch cable and lower studs on pedal box go through bulkhead for master cylinder or servo tower .gotta drill holes for column, pedal box studs and brake rod.clutch cable throttle cable etc . Ive just drilled all the spot welds out on the dash panel and removed that easier than i thought really go for it.
