Considerations With Ford Mustang Right Hand Drive Conversion

Some drivers, when moving their car from the United States to other countries may have it converted so that the driver controls are on the right. If you are thinking of a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are some important things to consider before you begin. In most countries it is not illegal to drive a car with left hand controls but having it modified should make driving more convenient.

The work you will have to get done is quite technical and may involve more modifications than you may initially think. All driver controls will have to be moved as well as things such as mirrors and heater vents. There will also be quite a bit of work to be done underneath the vehicle to brakes and suspension and this may sometimes be fairly costly.

The most cost effective way to relocate the pedal box and steering wheel is to purchase a kit and do the job yourself. You can find kits for many models of mustang that have been produced and they do not cost the earth. It is worth noting that when you do a DIY conversion the finished results will be inferior to those achieved with professional conversions.

You can buy a parts kit from an online supplier and a little research should be done before you make a purchase. Your items will be dispatched overnight, and will arrive complete with all necessary fitting instructions. A lot of the modifications may require you to buy special tools and you should check with the supplier before you order.

The better way to have conversions done is to get a qualified car mechanic to do the work. Many firms now specialize in conversion jobs and their finished results are excellent. The cost of hiring a professional will be much higher than a home modification, but all work will be covered by a warranty, and this will cover the car against failures.

Converting a car will take some time to complete depending on the model of mustang and how much work has to be done. Quick turn around can be found but this will often be more costly and if you own an older mustang then it may require slightly more modification. The good thing about getting the job done by a company is that they will care for your vehicle in the years to come and maintain the work they have done.

In most countries you will have to get any modification inspected and certified to comply with the law. If a company has converted your car they will issue you with all of the relevant documentation that say the car is safe to be driven on the roads. When you have done the work at home you will need to submit the car for safety inspections before you can drive it.

The final thing to consider is that when making any alterations, the Ford factory warranty will no longer be valid. Another thing to be mindful of is that future value of your mustang may be considerably lower. After having major alterations done to your car you should notify your vehicles insurers and there will usually be an increase in premiums.
