I always get confused with this "right" "left" thing on Healeys on an
international email list.
My Healey is right hand drive. So when I sit in my Healey, my
passenger is on my left, from my perspective.
So if people say "right" or "left" is that from the perspective of
sitting in the car, or from standing in front of it???
At least "near side" (nearest to kerb) and "off side" give a
perspective of the view!
All the lines (fuel, brake) run down the same side on the chassis on
my RHD Healey. That would be my drivers side. Or the off side. Or the
left hand side facing my car when standing in front of it.
Perspective.
No matter which direction I face, my right hand is never confused with
my left....
So that would be the right Hand side, standing at the front, looking
at the car, David????
I'm not being a smartarse.
My Healeys have always been RHD. As sold from the factory.
And I never knew a pedal box could interfere with a HD8!!
sincerely.
Chris.
