Searching For A Challenger Rhd Conversion

By Walter Thomas


Many drivers will need to modify a US manufactured car so that the controls are on the right hand side. It is not a legal requirement to convert a car when shipping it abroad but it makes driving overseas more convenient. When you are looking for a challenger rhd conversion there are a few important things to consider.

Before you make any changes to a car there are a couple of important things you need to think very carefully about. If the vehicle is reasonably new and still under an official Dodge warranty, these new modifications will invalidate this cover. The resale value of your car may also decrease as it will not be an original model. You also need to tell your vehicle insurers that you have made some changes and your insurance fees will probably increase.

These modifications can be done as a home project using a parts kit and this is the least expensive way of converting a car. A specialist kit can be found in auto parts stores and there are also web based retailers who stock them. It should be noted that a conversion done using a kit will work ok but there will be some mechanical parts left exposed inside the vehicle.

A much better way to get the modifications done is to send your car to an engineering company that specializes in conversions. This will be a more expensive way of getting the work done but the finished car will look much better. Another benefit with this option is that all of the work that has been carried out will be covered by a guarantee.

You will probably find a company in your neighborhood to do the conversion after doing a little research. Many of the specialist firms will be listed in the local telephone directory, some will advertise locally and others can be located online. Speaking to local mechanics can also produce results and they may do the work or recommend a reliable company.

After locating a company to do the modifications you will need to visit their workshop with your car to discuss things. The engineers will assess the car before giving you the costs of the work and explaining to you what alterations are needed. It is a good idea to get some quotes from a few different firms to make some price comparisons.

After comparing prices and choosing a firm you will need to transport the car to them for the work to begin. It may take some time to complete the job depending on the type of challenger you own and what needs to be done. When your vehicle is ready to collect, the technicians will give you some documents and a safety certificate, which you will need to retain.

If you have problems with your car after the modifications you will need to contact the company and get them rectified. Any future maintenance on the vehicle should be done by the firm which will keep any guarantees offered by them valid. If you find that you need other documents in order to sell or export your vehicle then the conversion firm will provide them.
