Locating Companies 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.

The task of changing a vehicles controls is not a case of moving the steering and foot controls. Things such as vents and safety belts will also need to be relocated to the other side. Other major components such as braking systems and suspension springs may need to be modified or moved before the car can be used on the roads and be safe to drive.

The less costly method of changing a vehicle is to buy all parts in kit form and carry out the work at home. This can be an inexpensive way of getting a conversion done and when finished it will be operational. One downside of a kit is that some of the final results are unsightly and many parts will be exposed.

When you are trying to find a kit some of the internet retailers are a great place to begin. Most of these firms will have a kit in their stock for camaros and the items will be sent to your home with fitting diagrams. As well as the price of the kit some other specialist tools may be needed to do the work and they can supply you with most of these.

The second option is to give the vehicle to a company and let them to do the modifications. There are many established companies who do these modifications to a very high standard. This will be a much costlier option than doing the job yourself but all work they do will be covered by a warranty.

A company doing the modifications will always result in a much better finish than a home project. All parts are hidden and the vehicle will appear like it was manufactured as a right hand drive model. The advantages of using a firm is that they will offer good after care for the vehicle and will be available should any technical issue arise after taking the vehicle away.

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.

When making any alterations to a car, any warranty offered by the maker will no longer be valid. Another point is that the retail value of the car may be lower, and it will be harder to sell as it will not be original. With any modifications to a vehicle you should notify your insurers of these changes as there could be a change in your annual payments to them.
