Looking For A Ford Mustang Right Hand Drive Conversion

By Elizabeth Burns


If you are moving to a country where they will drive on the other side with a US vehicle, many drivers will have the vehicles controls relocated to the opposite side of the car. If you are looking for a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are a couple options available. It is not always a legal requirement but making these changes should make driving more comfortable.

After making the decision to convert your mustang there are a lot more changes to be made than only moving a few basic controls. Foot pedals, the steering wheel and some switches will need to be moved. The exhaust system, brakes and headlights will also need some adjustment to make sure the vehicle is safe to be operated.

The most cost effective option when doing a conversion is to buy a parts kit from a specialist supplier or online store and do the conversion yourself. There will be many kits offered that are tailor made for Ford mustangs. You need to bear in mind that a lot of the packages are fairly basic and when the job is complete there could be some levers, fixings and components visible.

Finding package kits is reasonably easy and there are a number of web based suppliers that will specialize in kits for Ford mustangs. The kits are supplied with all instructions and usually an email address for technical support. You should note that when doing modifications it may be necessary to get some extra tools to allow you to do the work.

The best way to have your conversion done is to get a trained car mechanic to do it. Many established firms are operating that specialize in conversion work and their end results are good. The costs when hiring a professional will be much higher than if you do it at home as a project but all work done will be covered by their guarantee.

When having the conversion done by a specialist firm, the finish is better than you will get with a parts kit. All new components that are fitted will be hidden and the car will look as if it was manufactured as a RHD model. Most conversion companies will offer some excellent aftercare and can continue to maintain the vehicle.

Whichever option you choose it is essential to have all of the modifications inspected by the appropriate safety bodies. Most specialist firms will issue you with a certificate covering all of the changes and a fully detailed list of which items have been altered. If the work is done in your home workshop then the car will need to be checked by a mechanic for these safety inspections prior to it being driven.

Modifying your mustang will probably result in the manufacturer warranty being invalidated. The future retail value of your vehicle can be affected if you trade in the car after the conversion. It is legally required that you notify your vehicles insurers after the modifications as it may affect the cover they offer for your vehicle.
