Searching For A Ford Mustang Right Hand Drive Conversion

By William Lee


If you are taking a US manufactured vehicle abroad, where they drive on the other side of the road, you may decide to get the controls moved. If you are looking for a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are a few important points to consider. It is not necessary to make the changes but converting your car can make driving much easier.

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 most cost effective way to make the changes to a vehicle is to get the parts in a specialized kit and do the job yourself. Modification kits can be sourced for most of the mustangs and they are reasonably priced. You should be aware that the end results are often untidy and far less attractive than a professional conversion job.

You can also purchase a kit from an online supplier at reasonable prices. Your items will usually be dispatched overnight, and will arrive with all fitting instructions and some technical support phone numbers. Some modifications may require specialist tools and you should check this with supplier before you place an online order.

The preferable option when having conversions done is to get a fully qualified auto technician to do the modification work. Many specialist firms carry out conversions and their finished results are very good. The costs of hiring these professionals will be higher than a home modification but all of their work will be covered by a time based or mileage warranty.

Converting a vehicle is going to take some time depending on the model and how much mechanical work is needed. Quick conversions can be found but these are often costly and if you own an older mustang then it will require different modifications. One of the good things about getting the work done by a reputable company is that they will care for the vehicle in the future.

You will be required by law, in many countries, to have all of the modifications inspected by safety bodies before the car is used on the highway. Conversion companies will issue the necessary certificates covering the alterations when you collect your car. If the work is done at home, the car will need to be inspected and certified by a mechanic, before you can 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.
