Looking For A Challenger Rhd Conversion

By David Allen


Some drivers when moving a vehicle from the states to other countries may have it converted to a right hand drive car. If you are trying to locate a challenger rhd conversion there are some things to consider beforehand. In the majority of countries you would not be breaking any laws by not modifying the car but it will make driving more convenient.

When you have made the decision to convert your Challenger there are more changes to be made than moving a few basic driver controls. Pedals, the steering wheel and some electrical switches will need to be relocated and other bits may need slight adjustment. Exhaust systems, brakes and headlight aim will also need adjustment to make sure the vehicle is safe.

The most cost effective way to change a vehicle is to get the parts in a kit and do the conversion at home. This can be a fairly inexpensive process and a good way of getting the job done. One major drawback of a kit is that some of the end results are quite unsightly and a number of the newly fitted parts are left exposed.

There are many online companies who can supply the kits and after a little research a suitable one can be sourced. They will usually be dispatched and should arrive at your address with the fitting instructions and support numbers for technical advice. Some work may need some specialist tools and you should make checks with the supplier before buying kits.

A much better way of getting conversions done is to submit your vehicle to a company who can do the work. There are specialized companies who can carry out this work and the final results will be of a high standard. It will obviously cost a lot more than the kit conversions but it will be worth it as the modifications will be covered by a guarantee.

If you choose to employ an engineer to work on your vehicle, a far better finish can be achieved than with a DIY kit. All of the components fitted should be invisible and in the majority of cases the car will look as if it was built that way. Another advantage of using a professional company is that they will continue to offer maintenance for the car after these modifications are done.

If you have done the work at home or handed the car to a technician it is imperative that all of the work is checked for safety. The modification firms will give the car back with all certificates to confirm it is road worthy. If the vehicle does not have paperwork, or the conversion has been done in your own workshop, it can be examined later by a qualified mechanic and the documents can be issued.

When you modify your Challenger, the manufacturer warranty will no longer be valid. The future value of your car may also be affected after the conversion has been done. It is a legal requirement that you notify your car insurers after theses modifications as it may affect the cover they offer.
