Searching For A Right Hand Drive Camaro Conversion

By Donna Parker


A large number of American car owners will decide to turn their vehicle into a RHD model. If you are driving a US made car abroad, you are not breaking any laws but making the changes to the driver controls will make driving more comfortable. When searching for a right hand drive camaro conversion there are some important things to be considered before proceeding.

Before you make any major modifications to your vehicle there are a few things you need to bear in mind. If your car is still covered by the manufacturer warranty, it will no longer be valid after the work has been carried out. When you plan on selling the vehicle, you may find that you do not get its full market value. You will also need to notify your insurance providers and there will probably be a slight increase in your annual payments.

The work involved will be quite complex and there is more to be done than just moving the steering wheel and pedals. Mirrors, switches and the headlights will all need modifying or adjusting. The brakes, suspension and exhaust may also need attention to make certain that everything will operate safely.

The conversion can be done as a DIY project using a kit and this will be the cheapest way to get the job done. Specialist kits are sold in parts stores and there are also a lot of web based retailers. You need to be aware that a RHD conversion done using one of these kits will work, but there will be mechanical components left exposed inside the car.

If you plan to convert your car the best way is to give your vehicle car to a professional conversion company and get their qualified engineers to do the job. This will cost more than a kit but the final results are far superior. The other big advantage with this option is that all work is going to covered by a time based warranty.

When you are looking around your neighborhood, you may find a specialist conversion firm that can do the necessary work on your vehicle. A large number of firms will advertise in motoring magazines and local newspapers and others can be found whilst browsing the internet. It can also be worth speaking to an auto mechanic in your area and ask them if they do conversions or if they can recommend a firm that does.

When you have located the technicians to work on your camaro, you will need to make an appointment to visit their premises. The engineers will look at your vehicle and work out how much work is needed and they will inform you of the costs. It is advisable to call as many firms as possible for quotes which enables you to compare their prices.

When you are happy with a price your car can be collected or you can take it to the workshop. It will be difficult to give a completion date as each vehicle will require varying amounts of modification. When you collect your vehicle, the engineers will issue you with some important certificates stating the vehicle has passed inspection, and you should keep this paperwork in a safe place.
