orange rover Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 just bought a uk challenge truck which i want to convert to LHD. as far as i have gathered i will need the following parts: steering box bar-tie-bent forging (funny thing attached to the steering box, that's what its called in the parts book) panhard rod holder (the one that attaches to the chassis) panhard rod swivel pin housing heating box some plastic panel for the dash (might as well forget about it) brake pipes clutch pipes did i forget anything? are the panhard rod, holder, as well as swivel pins from a 88 rangie the same as for a defender? (could get hold of some rangie parts cheaply) regards orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul64 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hi, Why do you want to covert to LHD. I have a right hand drive 110 and live in Germany. The biggest advantage of RHD on the continent, is that it is less likely to get nicked. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
