NV Rhd Conversion

As the title says rhd conversion. Im seeing if anyone has a thread on step by step on how to convert lhd to rhd. The reason im doing this is because i have a front clip laying around and might as well convert while I can and then junk the clip. I see whats needed to do but, it would be helpful to have a step by step thread on manual before I get started. If anyone knows on how to please post or pm , It well be greatly appreciated before I get started thanks.

check the FSM, theres a chapter on RHD conversion lmao


start out with removing everything front and behind the firewall.. Cut firewall out, weld in rhd firewall, and then install everything... steering rack etc.. Adjust the lenght of the wiring harness etc. Should be pretty obvious what you need to do. Swap brake master cylinder, brake hard lines etc etc

I was only able to use two of the four mounting Boltholes when I mounted my RHD steering rack to my LHD Crossmember

yeah looking at it I can only use two so I might do that unless it torch of the mounting plate thats connected to the steering column and weld it to the right side which I might end up doing.
