Re: [T3] RHD anyone ??

Hey Martin,

I've been thinking about this for a while too.

My idea is to use a hydraulic pedal assembly (like a race car or sand rail)
for the brake set up. The hydraulic lines would have to be run on the side
of the tunnel for the rear brakes and the clutch.

I've also been thinking about using a RHD dash from a Type 2. I've seen this
grafted in as a LHD, but it would be cool to have a RHD Type 2 dash grafted
in.

The steering box switches over, the tie rods can swap, I think a pitman arm
needs to change to a RHD version (did someone mention this?). But, what
about an off road rack an pinion set up? This way, you wouldn't have to find
the pitman arm that is different. And you could route the steering via some
universal joints. That could solve the gas tank problem.
