100-4 Right hand drive parts

Share this page

You will need a steering box, a steering idler body, a new clutch/brake pedal shaft, tachometer cable, speedometer cable, throttle pedal and dashboard
 
And a wiper motor and two new arms (unless your wiper motor can have the park switch reversed).
You will need to check on wiring harness, and possibly be prepared to extend the wires to reach the gauge section.
Gear shift lever (LHD cars had a shorter lever, from what I have read), https://brits-n-pieces.com/shop/index.php/cat/c4682_gearbox---overdrive.html
"Because it was offset to the left, the gearlever on left-hand drive cars was much shorter than on right-hand drive cars."
 
I think that the steering box, idler body, clutch/brake shaft,and wiper system could all be re used, the wipers just by resetting blades on the wiper box shafts

No the steering box and idler are handed, and the clutch and brake shaft is different. The wiper motor is exactly the same and doesn't need changing, just needing the park position adjusting by rotating the park switch. You will need new wiper arms as these are the only part of the system that differ.
 
I don't think you can move the park portion enough.
SOME you can remove the cover, remove the switch, and invert the switch, otherwise, you will be "parking" straight up.

Unless you use bogus arms with those little swivel adjuster on the ends, yeah, the bend is different.
 
Hello 56freebie,

The ends of the wiper arms can actually be bent the opposite way, Iv'e done it.

Hello AH3000Mk111,

I didn't realise the wiper motor on the BN2 had a self park capability. Apart from the one where you wait till the wiper arms reach the end of their travel and you push in the switch.
I would have thought the Speedometer cable would fit because it comes from the right hand side of the transmission anyway.

Best regards,

bundyrum.
