Finding Right Hand Drive Camaro Conversion

By William Davis


A lot of car owners will choose to get their US made vehicle converted after moving it to another county. When trying to find a right hand drive camaro conversion, there are two ways to achieve this. When you export a car, it is not illegal to drive it with left hand controls but modifying your car will make it easier to operate.

The work that is involved when modifying a car is not a simple task of just the steering wheel and foot pedals. Other items such as mirrors and control switches will also need relocating to the right side of your vehicle. Some of the larger components including brakes and suspension parts may also need adjustment or modification before the car can be used.

The cheapest option when getting conversions done is to purchase a parts kit and carry out the modifications at home. This is a very cost effective way to convert your vehicle and there are a number of suitable packages available. You will need to bear in mind that some of the end results will be quite crude with many metal parts and other components left exposed.

When you are searching for a kit, some of the web based retailers are the best place to start. These internet companies will have many kits in stock for different Camaro models and they can be shipped to you next day with full installation diagrams. As well as the parts, some tools and specialist garage equipment may be required and your supplier should be able to sell you these items.

The preferred method of getting conversions carried out is to hand your car to a professional company. There are a lot of specialist companies who can do this type of work and their results will be of a very high standard. It will cost considerably more than the kit option but the modification work is covered by their warranty.

When you decide to have the modifications done by a professional firm, the end results will be better than you will get from a kit. All of the moving parts and components that are fitted will be hidden away and your car will look as though it was made as a right hand drive model. The majority of conversion firms will continue to maintain vehicles after the modification work has been done.

Whichever way you convert, your vehicle will have to be inspected by a qualified engineer, to ensure it complies with the regulations. If the car has been converted by a firm it will be returned to you with all documents confirming that it is safe to drive. When the conversion has been done as a home project, the car can be submitted for the checks and the documents can be issued.

After making any major changes to a vehicle, the manufacturers guarantee will not be valid. It is also worth noting that the future value of your Camaro could also be affected after the conversion. It is a legal requirement on most countries that you inform your car insurance company after modification as it can often affect the cover they provide.
