Looking For A Challenger Rhd Conversion

By Martha Roberts


If you own a left hand drive car and you are moving abroad you may wish to make some changes to the vehicle. In a lot of countries the cars will drive on the right and modifying yours will make things a little easier. If you a looking for a challenger rhd conversion there are a couple of options available to you and some care is needed.

To make these modifications you will need to do a fair bit of mechanical work which is quite complicated. The steering wheel, pedals and mirrors will all need moving along with headlight aim and some switches. Suspension, brakes and exhaust systems will also need to be adjusted or relocated so that the car can be operated properly and safely.

There are two ways to get the modification work done and you should think about which one is better for you. The car can be given to a specialist conversion firm and they will carry out all of the modifications for you. The other option is to purchase a conversion kit and carry out the mechanical work as a home project.

The most popular option is to have a professional company do the conversion for you and there are certain benefits. The firms that do the modifications will finish the car to a very high standard and the car will look as if it left the Dodge factory as a right hand drive model. All of the work is covered by a guarantee and they will maintain the vehicle in the future.

You can find a conversion company in a few places and it is advisable to get price quotes from as many as possible to compare prices. Firms will advertise in magazines and newspapers as well as on the internet. The web sites that are available will have some useful information which is worth reading before you have any work done.

If you choose the DIY option you will need to find a reputable supplier and purchase a parts kit. A lot of auto stores will sell kits and they can be ordered from one of the many internet based suppliers. The parts are delivered with all of the installation diagrams but you may need to purchase some specialist tools and garage equipment.

A kit conversion is the cheapest option and the car will operate well after you have done the work but there is a downside. A kit conversion will not give a good finish and many mechanical parts are going to be visible inside the vehicle. Levers, chains and springs will be clearly visible and this is something that you need to be mindful of before ordering a kit.

When you make any major changes to your challenger there are a few things that you should be aware of. The future value of the vehicle may be affected and if it is still under a Dodge warranty it will become void. You will also have to inform the company that provides your car insurance and it may cost you more to insure it in the future.
