Finding A Suitable Right Hand Drive Camaro Conversion

By Jerry Williams


For a lot of American car owners it may be necessary to have them converted so that they are a RH drive model after being moved to another country. When you are deciding on a right hand drive camaro conversion there are 2 ways to achieve this. When you are exporting cars it is not illegal to drive it with LH controls but a conversion will definitely make driving a lot easier and comfortable.

The task of changing a vehicles controls is not a case of moving the steering and foot controls. Things such as vents and safety belts will also need to be relocated to the other side. Other major components such as braking systems and suspension springs may need to be modified or moved before the car can be used on the roads and be safe to drive.

The cheapest way of getting the job done is to buy the parts in kit form and complete work yourself. This is an inexpensive way to convert your car and it will be fully operational. You should bear in mind that the final results when using the kit conversion will be crude with some levers and other components visible to the driver and passengers.

When you are trying to find a kit some of the internet retailers are a great place to begin. Most of these firms will have a kit in their stock for camaros and the items will be sent to your home with fitting diagrams. As well as the price of the kit some other specialist tools may be needed to do the work and they can supply you with most of these.

The second option is to give the vehicle to a company and let them to do the modifications. There are many established companies who do these modifications to a very high standard. This will be a much costlier option than doing the job yourself but all work they do will be covered by a warranty.

A company doing the modifications will always result in a much better finish than a home project. All parts are hidden and the vehicle will appear like it was manufactured as a right hand drive model. The advantages of using a firm is that they will offer good after care for the vehicle and will be available should any technical issue arise after taking the vehicle away.

If you do the work at home or give the car to an engineer it is essential that all of the mechanical work is inspected for correct operation. Most companies will hand your car back with the paperwork and certificates to say it is safe and road worthy. If your car does not have these or you have modified it in your workshop it can later be examined by a technician and all of the relevant documents can be issued.

The final thing to consider is that if a car is under a factory mechanical warranty any changes can and usually will affect this. If you are selling the car or trading it for another, the value could be less than that of a standard Camaro model. Nearly all of the car insurance companies will need to be notified and premiums will probably increase.
