Looking For A Ford Mustang Right Hand Drive Conversion

By Amy Richardson


If you are relocating to a country where cars drive on the other side of the road with a vehicle made in the United States, some drivers will have the controls moved to the right of the car. If you are looking for a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are a couple of options available after you have done a little homework. It is not always a legal requirement but making these changes will often make driving more comfortable.

The work needed when modifying a car is not a case of moving the steering wheel and pedal box. Things such as mirrors and switches will also need to be moved to the right hand side for safe operation. Some other major components such as brake pipes and suspension parts may also need a little modification or adjustment before the vehicle can be operated in a safe manner.

A cost effective way to make changes to a vehicle is to get all parts in a kit and do the conversion work at home. This can be an inexpensive process and a great way of getting the job done. One drawback of a parts kit is that some end results are unsightly and a number of the new parts are left exposed and will be seen by occupants of the car.

When trying to find a kit, the web based retailers are a good place to start. These suppliers will have various kits in stock for mustang cars and they can be shipped to your home with full fitting instructions. As well as the price of parts some custom tools may also need to be ordered to get the job done and they will usually be able to supply you with these.

A far better way of getting a conversion done is to submit the car to a company who will do the work. There are many companies who can carry out this type work and the final results are of a very high standard. It will obviously cost much more than the kit option but it will be well worth it as the modification work will be covered by a full guarantee.

If you are having a conversion done by a company, the final results will be far better than you will get from kits. The components that have been fitted will be hidden from view and the vehicle will look as though it was originally a right hand drive model. The companies also offer some excellent aftercare and will continue to maintain your vehicle after the job has been completed.

Whichever method you opt for, it is important to have all modifications inspected by the appropriate safety bodies. The majority of firms will furnish you with a certificate covering all of the work and a comprehensive list of the things that have been altered. If the job is done in your home workshop then the vehicle will then need to be submitted for inspections prior to it being driven on the public roads.

When making alterations to a vehicle the factory warranty will not be valid afterwards. The other thing to bear in mind is that future resale value of your mustang may be lower. After having any modifications done to a car, you need to notify your insurance company, and there will probably be changes to your premiums.
