I have always wondered if there were any, and if so, I was always looking for a Passenger side arm rest for the Drivers side or a Driver side map pocket for the Passenger side.
Ya know what I mean? I have never seen part numbers for those things so I kind of assumed they never existed, but hey it don't hurt to ask. (Does it?) |

There was a RHD one on Ebay a month or so ago. If I remember (insert foggy brain smiley) there were about 9 of them built by a company in England.

How come those guys never learned how to drive on the right side of the road???? Anyway, thanks for the inputs. I was more curious than anything else. I never asked about it and now I know. |

heck it would not be that hard to do. flip and new mounts for steering rack, cut out pedal cluster area and swap sides, could probably rework a stock pedal cluster to work. rework firewall for steering linkage. the hardest part would be the dash
