Looking For A Ford Mustang Right Hand Drive Conversion

By Amy Richardson


Some car drivers, when moving a vehicle from the US to another county may have it converted to a RHD model. If you are searching for a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are a few things to consider beforehand. In the most countries you will not be breaking the law by not modifying the car but it should make driving much more convenient.

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.

Sourcing a kit is reasonably easy and there are many web based suppliers that specialize in custom packages for mustang cars. They are supplied with all of the necessary fitting instructions and a link for technical support. You should note that when doing modifications yourself, you may need to buy some extra tools to allow you to do complete your project.

The most desirable way to have conversions done is to employ a car mechanic to do the job. Many firms specialize in this kind of work and the finished results are very good. The cost of hiring a professional technician will be much higher than if you do it at home, but all of the work will be covered by a warranty in case any components should fail.

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 you modify a mustang, the manufacturer warranty will not be valid any longer. The future sale value of your vehicle can also be affected after conversions. It is a legal requirement in most cases that you notify your car insurance providers after the modifications as it may affect the cover that they offer.
