[DML] Re: Your thoughts on RHD Conversion

[Martin Gutkowski <martin.is@xxxx>]

Hi there,

There are a few post-factory conversions here in England, and although I am no expert, I can supply contact details of a guy who took his DeLorean to Australia and converted it himself.

There are a couple of issues I know of:

1) It's a surprise to most, but the footwell on the right side of the car is slightly narrower than the left.

2) The master brake cylinder causes a lot of problems, being as it cannot be transplanted easily from one side to the other.

3) But the steering rack is the biggest because, as yet, we have not found a suitable OEM replacement. AFAIK you have to make/modify one from scratch.

Contact me privately, and I will put you in touch with Gary Hewitt

Best Wishes,

Martin

I would have thought being rear engined all of the steering components could be moved around pretty well. I've seen lots of cars converted here, and these engineers are unbelievable, They swap everything around perfectly. So I would have thought it would be pretty easy.
