Im thinking about picking up a 27 tudor and I want to convert it to Right hand drive. has any one done this? what kind of parts issues am I looking at? I'd like to use as much of the original parts as I can (because thats what Im gonna have and money is TIGHT) lemme know, thanx

While your thinking about it.Think to Introducr YOURSELF here,READ the"sticky" at the top of this page..Procede as it states

 

Ditto! Then post your questions on the general forum area.

 

have you tryed to look at it in a mirror??

 

Calm down junior. he already did an intro....he just posted in the wrong area. I know this is hard for you to understand being perfect and all.....well except for spelling.....now for a response that is helpful.

Hey sickboy, I'm sure it has been done. May want to search the main forum and if nothing post the question there. This is the intro area. Good luck.....

 

Why do you want a rhd in the USA? Here in Australia.. Yeah, We all wand rhd. But no conversions to left!
Anyways.
You'll need to do what we do here, find a rhd wreck in australia, i might be helpful. And send the dash over to the states.
Or with the old tudors i imagne its not hard to fab a dash up.
Anyways, Its not ALL that hard, there's a few different methods. Theres a new piston one i've heard of which sounds like the cheapest and safest for time too.
Much like the chain method, but its a piston instead.. No Snapping.
Im sure i forgot something, but this should be a starter.

Well the model A Dash has all the instruments in the middle anyway so Im not worried about that, just the steering and the pedal linkage etc.
And why a RHD in the US? Well first off, NOTHING about this rat that I am gonna built is gonna be user friendly and I figured if I am gonna build it from the ground up why not have some fun with it. Second it would really mess with the cops here in the states when I am driving alone but its gonna be hilarious when I have my chick with me (She tends to fall asleep when we go for a drive). Besides, I have only driven a RHD car once or twice in my years and only once in the states. I think it'd be fun.
