Tom Maddock Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 How difficult is it to convert a TR8 from Left hand drive to right hand drive. Is the bulkhead easily converted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris turner Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Tom, I have not done one but a friend of mine has, he used the panels from the bulkhead of a RHD car, this makes it easier to mark out where to cut on the left hand side of a LHD car. The problem with converting a TR8 is finding a RHD power steering rack and extending the wiring loom. If you live any where near Sheffield I can show you a car thats been done and photos of how. The photos of the conversion in Roger Williams book were of my cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr7jim Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Tom, If you looking for a genuine TR8 already converted Chris has two for sale and both in excellant condition but you could convert TR8 from LHD to RHD using a standard TR7 rack but you loose the Power Steering. Chris is also correct in saying its very very hard to source Genuine TR8 Power steering rack nowadays. I personally find with my LHD TR8 that the power steering make a big difference when turning at slow speeds against a standard TR7. Jim Johnson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
