    RHD dash

    I am looking at converting my LHD 72 911T to a RHD drive car. If anyone has parts that will assist it would be appreciated.

    Hi Ian

    Please allow us to counsel you against it! What is the background/reason/location that makes you want to do this?

    Once upon a time conversions happened regularly (certainly here in Australia), but these days you're likely to greatly devalue the car... That's even if you can find the correct (NLA) parts to do the job.

    Cheers

    Hi John

    Thanks for your message. Its fair to say that your comments are consistent with almost all Porsche aficionados. However, finding a RHD sunroof coupe is not that easy, partiuculary in the nice rust free condtion my car is in. I am not really that keen on the whole LHD thing. I know theconverision devalues the car, but I love these cars so much that I dont really care. I just want the maximum enjoyment out of this baby and hopefully when I am done with it one of my kids will take it. Make sense?

    Thaks for your feedback.

    Cheers

    Ian

    You can buy the aftermarket dash pad in RHD but be prepared to be reemed close to or over $3000NZ dollars

    They are very good not as good as factory of course but factory not available so there is no other option.
