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 cheapest way of getting a conversion done is to purchase the parts and do the work yourself. This is an inexpensive way to convert a vehicle and it will be fully operational afterwards. You need to be aware that the final results when using kit conversions are often quite crude with chains, levers and other components exposed to the driver.

There are a number of online companies who are able to supply the kits and after some research a suitable one can be found. They will be dispatch your kit and it should arrive at your home with the full fitting instructions and support contacts in case you need any technical advice during the project. The work may require some special tools and you should make some checks with your supplier before you buy.

A better way of getting a conversion done is to submit the vehicle to a specialist company who will be able to do the work. There are companies who carry out this kind of work and the results are of a high standard. It will cost a lot more than the parts kit conversions but it can be worth it as the work will be covered by their guarantees.

If you use engineers to work on your car, a better finish can be achieved. All of the new components will be invisible and in most cases the vehicle will look as if it was built that way originally. Another advantage of using professional companies is that they will continue to offer a maintenance plan for the car after the modifications are done.

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.
