Locating A Ford Mustang Right Hand Drive Conversion

By Amy Richardson


Some car drivers, when moving a vehicle from the US to another county may have it converted to a RHD model. If you are searching for a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are a few things to consider beforehand. In the most countries you will not be breaking the law by not modifying the car but it should make driving much more convenient.

The work needed when modifying a car is not a case of moving the steering wheel and pedal box. Things such as mirrors and switches will also need to be moved to the right hand side for safe operation. Some other major components such as brake pipes and suspension parts may also need a little modification or adjustment before the vehicle can be operated in a safe manner.

A cost effective way to make changes to a vehicle is to get all parts in a kit and do the conversion work at home. This can be an inexpensive process and a great way of getting the job done. One drawback of a parts kit is that some end results are unsightly and a number of the new parts are left exposed and will be seen by occupants of the car.

When trying to find a kit, the web based retailers are a good place to start. These suppliers will have various kits in stock for mustang cars and they can be shipped to your home with full fitting instructions. As well as the price of parts some custom tools may also need to be ordered to get the job done and they will usually be able to supply you with these.

The better option is to give your mustang to a well established company and let them do the conversion. There are many experienced companies who can do this type of work to an extremely high standard. It will be a lot more expensive than if you do the work, but the modifications they have carried out will be covered by a warranty.

If you decide to employ a company to do your modification work you will get a better finish. All of the components will be hidden away and the vehicle will usually appear as though it came from the Ford factory as a right hand model. Some other advantages of using professional firms for the work are that they offer good aftercare for the vehicle and they will be available for support if any issues arise.

If you have done the work yourself or handed the car to a mechanic it is imperative that all of the work is checked. The modification companies will give your car back with all of the certificates to confirm it is legal and road worthy. If the car does not have this paperwork or the conversion has been done elsewhere, it can be later examined by a qualified inspector and the documents can then be issued.

When making alterations to a vehicle the factory warranty will not be valid afterwards. The other thing to bear in mind is that future resale value of your mustang may be lower. After having any modifications done to a car, you need to notify your insurance company, and there will probably be changes to your premiums.
