RHD Throttle Linkage Assembly For BJ7

I am trying to set up the throttle linkage assembly on my BJ7, the car originally was LHD and I am converting it to RHD.
According to AH Spares you can only get a LHD new unit and as the previous owner seems to have done a runner with the original one I am a bit stuck as to how to go about replacing it.
Can anyone advise on the parts I may need for a RHD linkage, or where I could source one from.
Also any pictures or specifications of the shaft sizes etc would be helpfull and maybe I can build it up myself.

Hi Rob,
Looks like Moss (USA) has all those parts as N/A. You can at least see what you need in their diagrams HERE. Have you tried Moss UK?

Rob -

I converted my BJ8 from LHD to RHD about 5 years ago so I could drive it here in Hong Kong. I am sure most of the BJ7 parts are identical in this regard.

Steve Norton at Cape International has all the parts. https://www.cape-international.com Steve Norton is a good guy as well. His assistant Mark is very good too.

You'll need a new throttle pedal and shaft, and a new cross shaft that mounts behind the back of the engine above the clutch cover.

Steve will have all of this new. If you have OEM part numbers handy you can probably look up the parts on his very through website.

Good Luck!
