LHD TO RHD

[diggerfrank]

Whats involved in changing a lhd '86 monty to a rhd?

[Russ]

The main problem I could see is changing the wiring harness which is quite a big job.
Other than that the other items would be the steering rack, dash and front lights

[E_T_V]

As above, but don't forget the pedal box too. Not impossible (as that is what ledbury cars are mostly). Easier if you have a donor to rob things from.

[Russ]

I forgot that Dan. Another quite major job sorting out the brake plumbing

[mgdavid]

do the windscreen wipers sweep the other way on LHD? i.e. will enough screen be cleared for MOT?

[Doctordiesel77]

Yes, but will not fail an MOT on it, you might want to swap them over anyway though, there were a few imported cars in the 60's and 70's with "wrong way round" wipers, not illegal, but annoying..

[E_T_V]

Yes the apple 2000 cars use the "wrong" way around wipers (and door mirrors).

...Small point, but also the repositioning of the remote boot and fuel filler levers by the drivers seat, entailing perhaps shorter cables (you could effectively shorten the inner cables by removing the ends at the boot and fuel filler, cutting the cable to suit and soldering the ends on.

cheers thanks for that
