Looking For A Right Hand Drive Camaro Conversion

By Jerry Williams


When moving a car from the United States to a country where they drive on the opposite side of the road some drivers will decide to move a vehicles controls to the other side. When you are looking for a right hand drive camaro conversion there are a couple of options available after a little research has been done. Although it is not a legal necessity in many countries, making the changes makes your driving experience more comfortable.

Changing the vehicle from LHD to RHD is not just a case of swapping some items to the other side of the interior. The operating controls will have to be moved and electrical switches and inside mirrors. Some other fittings may also need adjustment and components of the suspension and brakes will usually need to be changed, modified or adjusted.

The cheapest way of getting the job done is to buy the parts in kit form and complete work yourself. This is an inexpensive way to convert your car and it will be fully operational. You should bear in mind that the final results when using the kit conversion will be crude with some levers and other components visible to the driver and passengers.

There are a lot of web retailers who supply the kits and after some research the correct one can be found. They will usually be sent overnight and should arrive at your address with the instructions and contacts should you need any advice. It is worth noting that some of the work may require special tools so it is worth checking with the supplier before purchasing a kit.

The best way to get a conversion done is to give your car to a company who can do the specialized work. There are companies who specialize in this work and the results should be of a high standard. It will cost a lot more than the kit but it is worth it as the work will be covered by a guarantee.

When you use the services of an engineer to do the work much higher standards of finish will be achieved. All of the parts will be invisible to the occupants and in most cases the vehicle will look as if it was originally that way. One plus point of using these firms is that they will continue to offer maintenance for the car after the modifications have been finished.

Whether you choose to do the modifications yourself or have them done professionally it is imperative to have any changes examined by an inspection body for safety. Most firms will issue a certificate covering the work and a list of what has been changed. If the work is done in your home the vehicle will need to be submitted to a mechanic for safety inspections before being driven.

The final thing to consider is that if a car is under a factory mechanical warranty any changes can and usually will affect this. If you are selling the car or trading it for another, the value could be less than that of a standard Camaro model. Nearly all of the car insurance companies will need to be notified and premiums will probably increase.
