I refer to the guys over here that are converting repatriated LHDs to RHDs. Steering components, dashboards etc…..these are pretty much useless to us and seem to be sold for peanuts. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Shipping needn’t be an issue if the vendor can be prised away from couriers and induced to use Royal Mail. The latter is normally much cheaper and just as quick. And they are much more gullible insofar as you can declare practically any value without fear of contradiction.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Just a thought and one which you all probably had years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Something more for people engaged in long-term projects rather than the “Need it now” types.

Because the shaft below it is "keyed", taking the e-brake handle from the left side of the tunnel to the right side has it angled in the wrong direction. It will not reach the cable clevis this way. Today I took it to a machine shop that specializes in welding. They are going to mill out the two welds holding the shaft in place, turn it 90 degrees and weld it back down. When I decided to make a left side e-brake handle into a right side handle who knew the can of worms it would open. I thought the ratchet plate was all I needed. Everything needed to be flipped in the opposite direction to work. Turns out the Spridget e-brake handle is mounted on the left side of the tunnel. All this because I had it re-chromed already.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Mike MacLean<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
