Locating A Ford Mustang Right Hand Drive Conversion

By William Lee


A lot of drivers, who own American made vehicles, may have to get their car converted after moving it to another county. When trying to locate a ford mustang right hand drive conversion, there a few things to think about. It is not against the law to drive cars with left hand controls but a modified vehicle will be easier to operate if you have the modifications done.

The work required for this modification is fairly technical and will involve more modifications than you may at first think. All of the driver controls such as the steering wheel will have to be moved as well as mirrors and directional air vents. There will probably also be a bit of work to be done underneath the car on brakes and suspension and this is sometimes costly.

The cheapest way to relocate your cars pedal box and steering wheel is to by a do it yourself kit and do the modifications at home. You can find kits in auto stores for many models of mustang that have been manufactured over the years. You need to be mindful that when you do a DIY conversion, the results are going to be inferior to those that are achieved with a professional conversion.

Sourcing a parts kit is fairly simple and the web based suppliers are a good place to buy from. Your kit is supplied with full fitting diagrams and a link or phone number for any technical advice you need. You may have to purchase specialist equipment and tools and the online kit suppliers can usually furnish you with these items.

A better result can be achieved if you submit your car to a well established conversion company and have their technicians do the work. There are many firms who can carry out this skilled work to an extremely high standard. It will be a lot more expensive than home kit conversions but all work will be of a professional standard and it is covered by a warranty.

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.

Your car will have to be inspected by certified engineers after the modification to make sure it is safe to drive. If the work is done by a qualified technician, your car will be returned to you with the documents to confirm it has passed the inspections. If you do the work yourself, the car can be booked in for the safety checks at a later date, before you drive it.

One major thing to bear in mind is that when making major alterations, the Ford warranty will no longer be applicable. The future value of your car may also be considerably lower after making the changes. You will need to notify your vehicles insurers and there may be a change to your annual premiums.
