I've heard you can use a RHD pitman arm. I was told you need to grind out the key notch that locates it to the output shaft on the steering box. I've never tried it though

No you can't because the angle of the arm is totally different.

Like Bonzai said, I shipped my pitman arm to rare parts and they rebuilt it. And it wasn't cheap! But the only real option unless you put a manual rack in

They do, but pitman arm. The stuff on Ebay is from Australia and the pitman arm is for right hand drive and will not work. All the other bushings and ball joints will work though.
