Locating A Challenger Rhd Conversion

By Deborah Olson


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.

The work needed to modify is quite complicated and many things will need to be replaced or adjusted. The usual controls such as steering wheel and foot pedals will have to be moved along with other switches and gauges. Other major components such as the braking system, suspension and exhaust may also need some attention to ensure that the car is road worthy.

The cheapest way to convert your car is to buy a tailor made kit from an auto store and do the work yourself. Kits are available for Dodge Challenger cars and some care is needed to purchase the correct parts for your particular model. It should be noted that a conversion that is carried out using a kit can sometimes result in a fairly unsightly looking finish with many mechanical parts visible.

The best place to find a parts kit is to look on the internet where you can find many suppliers. After looking through their stock, you can order a suitable pack of parts that will be sent to you with all of the fitting diagrams and technical support information. Some specialist equipment and tools may also be needed and you can buy these from your supplier if they are required.

A better way to get your modifications done is to hire a professional mechanic to do all of the work. Many specialist firms can be found to do vehicle conversions to an extremely high standard. Paying a company is going to be more costly than using a kit but it can be worth it as all of the work will be covered by a time based warranty.

If you get the job done by a specialist company, the end results are going to be much better than the modifications done using a kit. All of the components that are moved or fitted will be hidden away and the car will appear as a standard RHD model. Most firms will continue to maintain your car after the conversion work and this is important to keep the warranty valid.

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.

There are a few things to take into account after converting your car. Any warranty offered by the manufacturer will be void and the resale value of the vehicle may be affected. It is also important to notify your cars insurers of the changes as it may affect the policy.
