[Healeys] Conversion to LHD

[Alan]

Hey Steve.
Anything I can help with? I took my LHD BJ8 to RHD (as you probably know -
it's in your register).  I have some LHD bits available that you are welcome
to as well - for example the wooden dash panels and chrome edge strips, also
the steering idler.  The box is going spare too. There isn't any call for
them over here - but it's a bit heavy/bulky to ship.

I wrote a brief summary of the job here:

Which will act as a checklist of the things to be considered.  Anything else
you need expanding on just ask.....

Cheers.

Subject: [Healeys] Conversion to LHD

Hello again, Healeyphiles -

Does anyone out there have any information/details about conversion of a BJ8
from right-hand to left-hand drive?
Most conversions go in the other direction, of course.  I only have a record
of one car in the registry that was converted from RHD to LHD.  It started
out LHD, then went to England and got converted to RHD, then to Belgium and
back to LHD, but I'm unable to reach the owner via e-mail to get his
knowledge.
I know of two cars in the USA at the moment that need to go from RHD to LHD.

Thanks for any help!
