I converted a US spec 73 Midget to RHD with no problems.
You will need an older (65-67) steering column, RHD dash, and RHD
steering rack.
Am I assuming the rusty Midet was UK spec? If so, all the parts will
bolt right on.
The US cars had a collapsable steering column starting in 68, these will
not swap over. If you have a RHD Midget already, it's just unbolt and
bolt up.
Good luck
