Looking For A Ford Mustang Right Hand Drive Conversion

By William Lee


A large number of car owners, when moving from the States to another country, may have their vehicle converted so that the controls are on the right. If you are searching for a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are some things to consider beforehand. In a lot of countries it is not illegal to drive your vehicle with left hand controls but modifying it should make driving a lot more convenient.

There is quite a lot of technical work to be carried out when converting a car from left to right hand drive. All of the basic controls used to operate your vehicle will need relocating and a few of the interior parts such as mirrors and switches. The underside will also need some specialist attention and adjustment of the suspension components and brakes may be required which is time consuming and costly.

The most cost effective way to make the changes to a vehicle is to get the parts in a specialized kit and do the job yourself. Modification kits can be sourced for most of the mustangs and they are reasonably priced. You should be aware that the end results are often untidy and far less attractive than a professional conversion job.

You can also purchase a kit from an online supplier at reasonable prices. Your items will usually be dispatched overnight, and will arrive with all fitting instructions and some technical support phone numbers. Some modifications may require specialist tools and you should check this with supplier before you place an online order.

The best way to get your conversion done is to submit the vehicle to a reputable engineering company who will carry out the modifications. There are a lot of companies that do these conversions to a high standard at very competitive prices. The costs will be higher than a do it yourself job but you will have a warranty against failures.

Converting your car may often take a while depending on which particular model of Ford mustang you own. A speedy job can sometimes be arranged but this is going to cost more and some of the classic vehicles will need more specialized attention. The main benefit of getting the job done by a professional firm is that they will continue to look after your vehicle after the modifications have been carried out.

In the majority of countries you will have to get the modifications inspected and certified to ensure the car is safe. If an engineering company has converted your vehicle, they will issue the relevant documentation when you pick your car up. If you have done the job at home, you will need to take the vehicle for a safety inspection before you can use it on the public roads.

If your mustang is still under a Ford warranty the modifications will affect this. If you sell the vehicle, the price could be affected as it will not be a stock factory car. Your vehicle insurance company will also need to be told about the conversion work and your yearly premiums may rise.
