Subject:Anyone converted RHD to LHD or vice-versa?
From:Andrew Grebneff

I'm looking at an 86 Syncro which has turned-up... someone imported
it from Germany, but as it's LHD it can't be put on the road.

It's a 2.1 and apparently in good condition (it's 365km away, so I
haven't seen it yet). Price is
$665.00 US.

I'm looking at the viability of buying it and converting it to RHD.
What I need to know is exactly what parts I'd need for the conversion.

Those I would definitely need:
dashboard
steering rack
pedal cluster
wiper assembly complete (minus motor?)

Would I need these:
handbrake lever assembly
steering-column/master-cylinder bracketry
-anything else?

I can probably get the parts from an SVXVanagon owner in Australia,
who has a friend wrecking a 1990 Type 2.
