When you are relocating to a country where they drive cars on the right side of the road, with an American manufactured vehicle, you may opt to get the vehicles controls moved to the other side of the car. When searching for a challenger rhd conversion, there are a couple of ways to get the modifications done. A little research is required and it is important that the work is done properly to allow the car to be driven safely.

Converting a car from left to right hand drive is a specialized job and a large number of components will need moving, changing or adjusting. Obvious parts such as foot controls and the steering wheel is going to be moved as well as stalk switches. Some work is going to be required underneath to the brakes, springs and sometimes exhausts to make certain the vehicle can be operated safely.

A cost effective way to modify your vehicle is to buy the parts in a conversion kit and do the work at home. Many kits are offered for sale which are tailor made for the Dodge Challenger and it is essential that you select the correct one. After fitting the kit you should be mindful that many of the metal levers, springs and other parts will be left exposed and the finished results are not always great.

When trying to find a compatible kit, the internet is a great place to start and there are many suppliers that trade online. You will need to spend some time looking through the different kits and when you have ordered it will dispatched with fitting instructions. You may require some other tools to get the work done and your retailer will be happy to advise you on what you need.

The best way to get a good conversion done is to submit your Challenger to a specialist engineering firm and have them carry out the modifications. There are a large number of well established companies that do this type of work to a very high standard. Using the professionals is the more expensive option but you will have the peace of mind that all work is covered by their guarantees.

You are always going to get better results when using a firm than you will if you use a kit. None of the mechanical parts will be visible and in most cases the car will look like a stock RHD Challenger. These conversion firms will also offer a continued maintenance plan for the car which will keep it running well and keep guarantees in order.

Whichever method you decide to go for it is essential that the car is checked to ensure it is safe to drive on the public roads. A specialist firm will issue you with official certificates covering all of the modifications along with list of what has been changed. If you have done the job yourself using a kit, the car should be submitted to a qualified mechanic for safety checks, and then the certificates can be issued.

A couple of things should be considered after modifying your car. If the car is under a Dodge warranty, it will no longer be valid, and the future value of the car may be reduced. The company that insures your car will also need to be told about the changes and you may be required to pay a higher premium.
