If you are relocating to a country where cars drive on the other side of the road with a vehicle made in the United States, some drivers will have the controls moved to the right of the car. If you are looking for a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are a couple of options available after you have done a little homework. It is not always a legal requirement but making these changes will often make driving more comfortable.

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.

The cheapest way of getting your alterations done is to purchase kit and do the modifications yourself. This is an inexpensive way to convert the vehicle and it will be fully functional afterwards. You need to consider that the finished results when using a kit will often be fairly crude with some chains, levers and small mechanical components exposed to the driver.

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.

Whichever method you opt for, it is important to have all modifications inspected by the appropriate safety bodies. The majority of firms will furnish you with a certificate covering all of the work and a comprehensive list of the things that have been altered. If the job is done in your home workshop then the vehicle will then need to be submitted for inspections prior to it being driven on the public roads.

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.
