Finding A Challenger Rhd Conversion

By David Allen


Some drivers when moving a vehicle from the states to other countries may have it converted to a right hand drive car. If you are trying to locate a challenger rhd conversion there are some things to consider beforehand. In the majority of countries you would not be breaking any laws by not modifying the car but it will make driving more convenient.

When you have made the decision to convert your Challenger there are more changes to be made than moving a few basic driver controls. Pedals, the steering wheel and some electrical switches will need to be relocated and other bits may need slight adjustment. Exhaust systems, brakes and headlight aim will also need adjustment to make sure the vehicle is safe.

The cheapest option when doing a conversion is to purchase a kit from a specialist supplier or online retailer and do the job yourself. There will be kits offered that are tailor made for Dodge Challenger cars. You need to be aware that many kits are quite basic and when the job is finished there will be some metal work, fixings and components visible to the people in the vehicle.

Finding a package kit is reasonably easy and there are web based suppliers that specialize in kits for Challenger cars. These kits are supplied with all of the instructions and usually a link for technical support. It should be noted that when doing the modifications yourself, it may be necessary to get extra tools to allow you to do complete the project.

The more desirable way to have conversions done is to get a car mechanic to do the work. Many reputable firms specialize in conversion work and their finished results are extremely good. The costs of hiring a professional will be higher than if you do it at home but all work will be covered by a guarantee in case any components fail.

When having conversions done by a firm, the finished results are much better than you will get from a kit. All components fitted are hidden and the vehicle will look as though it was manufactured as a right hand model. Most of the companies offer excellent aftercare and can continue to look after your vehicle after the work has been completed.

If you have done the work at home or handed the car to a technician it is imperative that all of the work is checked for safety. The modification firms will give the car back with all certificates to confirm it is road worthy. If the vehicle does not have paperwork, or the conversion has been done in your own workshop, it can be examined later by a qualified mechanic and the documents can be issued.

When you modify your Challenger, the manufacturer warranty will no longer be valid. The future value of your car may also be affected after the conversion has been done. It is a legal requirement that you notify your car insurers after theses modifications as it may affect the cover they offer.
