Considering switching my steeringwheel Wed, 24 March 2004 08:56 Go to next message
I am looking into switching my steering wheel to the right side of my 84 Supra. I am looking around to see how much a dash with the right side set up will cost me, if there are any out there let me know how much I can purchase one for and we will talk.I will be doing this at the same time that I swap my 5mge for a 7mgte since I will have my car all taken apart at this time I might as well do something really cool to make it unique in Colorado.

Am I getting this right? You have an MA61L Chassis, and you want to make it to an MA61R Chassis with the steering wheel on the right... It would be cheaper getting a whole car if that is the case.

If it just to change the steering wheel, I don't see any difficulty in changing the wheels as they *may* share the same Boss on the spline, but finding the Australian Spec wheel would be difficult.

Cheers.

I hate to be pedantic, but yes to which question.

Is it :

1. Making a RHD car out of a LHD, or

2. Just putting in an Aussie version Steering wheel on a LHD car ?

I may have RHD Steering wheel for sale soon if that is what you want.

Postage will be a bitch, but if you want it it is here

Cheers

Michael B

Yep, he wants to convert his USDM LHD MA61 to a RHD model, for something different.

cmg is correct. I am going to switch to be driving my car on the right side of the vehicle. Right now I am in a research phase. I am not going to be buying any parts for about 9 months. As I just figured out that the body work wont cost as much as I had originally planed it may be sooner though. Right now I am looking to open lines of communication with the necessary people and find out what I can.

One question : WHY ?

Make it harder to drive on the Right hand side of the road in a RHD car.

Each to his own !


Good luck with the Conversion.


Cheers

As I stated in my first post I am going for the uniqeness of it. As nobody in Colorad has a right side driver I will have the only one(Supra at least). I actually think that driving on the right side of the road would be easier since I hug the far right of the road most of the time(excepting corners)anyways.
