Looking For A Challenger Rhd Conversion

By David Allen


If you are moving to a country where they drive on the other side of the road with a US made vehicle, a lot drivers will have the vehicles controls moved to the opposite side of the car. If you are looking for a challenger rhd conversion there are a few options available after some homework has been done. It is not a legal requirement in most countries but making the changes should make driving a lot more comfortable.

Converting from left to right hand drive is not simply swapping some parts to the other side of the vehicle. The main driver controls will have to be relocated as well as switches and interior trim. Many fittings may also need adjustment and components of suspension systems and brakes will also need some modifications or adjustments.

The least costly way of getting a conversion is to purchase parts kit and do the job yourself. This can be a fairly cheap way to convert a vehicle and it will be operational afterwards. You need to be mindful that the end results when using kit conversions will be fairly crude with chains, metal levers and small components exposed to the driver.

Finding a package kit is reasonably easy and there are web based suppliers that specialize in kits for Challenger cars. These kits are supplied with all of the instructions and usually a link for technical support. It should be noted that when doing the modifications yourself, it may be necessary to get extra tools to allow you to do complete the project.

The more desirable way to have conversions done is to get a car mechanic to do the work. Many reputable firms specialize in conversion work and their finished results are extremely good. The costs of hiring a professional will be higher than if you do it at home but all work will be covered by a guarantee in case any components fail.

When having conversions done by a firm, the finished results are much better than you will get from a kit. All components fitted are hidden and the vehicle will look as though it was manufactured as a right hand model. Most of the companies offer excellent aftercare and can continue to look after your vehicle after the work has been completed.

Whichever conversion method you choose it is important to have the car inspected by the relevant safety bodies. Most firms will issue you with certificates covering all of the alterations and a detailed list of the items that have been changed. If work is done in your workshop then the vehicle will need to be submitted for a safety inspection prior to it being driven on the roads.

When you modify your Challenger, the manufacturer warranty will no longer be valid. The future value of your car may also be affected after the conversion has been done. It is a legal requirement that you notify your car insurers after theses modifications as it may affect the cover they offer.
