LHD and RHD frame differences? (1 Viewer)

[Ceckus]

Hi! In Lithuania we have LHD cars, but my frame has big rust issues, and one person offered me new one, but it is from RHD car. Is it very difficult to convert RHD frame to LHD? Everything (axles, steering column and other bits) will stay mine, I would change only the frame.

One thing different will be the steering box needs new mounting holes on the left side. Otherwise depending on model the only other thing I can think of would be suspension parts.

Panhard if coil sprung will be opposite side of the frame. Otherwise just what @coldtaco said.


Cheers

On the MWB 73/74, are the rear shock mounting points on the frame the same on LHD and RHD?

I guess it would help if you said what your rig is and what the donor is.

As the others have pointed out, there will be minor differences, but overall the chassis' are the same. My old mechanic did 5 LHD to RHD conversions one after the other on HZJ75 and he complained about a lot of things but not the chassis
