CAV rhd conversion

[Tommy R]

Hi all,
Could someone tell me how easy it would be to covert a cav gt40 from lhd to rhd?
Are the chassis symmetrical?
Thanks all!
Tom

It has been done and the person that did it is active on this forum. I suspect they will weigh in.

Not sure it will help but .
What number is your CAV. Mine is LH drive, #193. I will look at it and make note of L R differences if any.
If your lucky a dash and rack may be the big items.

Sorry to take so long but on CAV #193 it would be easy to switch, after looking at mine. A rack, dash and some wiring. !!!

Hi, Håvard in Norway here, i have ordered Cav #220 do you have some pictures to share?

Check my build. Canadian build. in Build logs. Quite a few pictures and what I had to overcome.

Not an expert on this but since CAV offered LHD and RHD it should not be too difficult. Key question is, do you want to keep the gear lever in the center position or move it to the rhs sill???

The sill will allow easier rod shifter install,
