slowly but surley im getting there

[Vandalism]

the convertion has now started and is well under way - all the rhd equiptment has been installed
steering collum and box and hole for steering arme
peddle box and servo
and also work has started on the front end replacing bottom half of wing on right hand side and left wing to be replaced soon








rhd equiptment installed - lhd equiptement still in place




rhd collum only bolted in tempry till dash is changed

nice work and interesting to see the pics - i take it you've cut out the bulkhead piece to match the pedals ive come across this problem with mine the pedals ive got dont match my bulkhead

[Vandalism]

yes, i cut the bulkhead panle out the scrap van i got my parts from

[Vandalism]

little problem but easilly sorted
does anyone have a accelarator cable theyre are willing to sell me as now the rhd stuff is in the cable is too short

thanks, i guess the petrol and diesel cables are the same length

[Vandalism]

heres a better pic of the piece that had to be pieced into the bulkhead on the right hand side

[Vandalism]

come across a little problem..because the rhd convertion is nearly in, the van needs a new clutch cable, as the german one is to short now so i bought an english one but...still to short what can i do, does a mk2/3 cable fit or can i get a longer one made up?

[transitgeoff]

you need Mark to answer this but i think the gearbox has to come out to sort it

[Vandalism]

i was under the impression i could just put a longer cable on not take the box out

[Luke]

what ends are on the cable something like a sierra 4x4 cable might work thats got the clutch lever on the other side

[Vandalism]

this is the actual pic of the item from ebay - but its too short

[madmark]

you will probly need a cable made up,it needs to be much longer as it will go under the sump
