I have a '67 3000 I imported from the USA. I'd like to swap it over to use RHD steering. I've been offered a non-adjustable RHD one from an earlier car and was wondering whether I could swap it for the Adjustable LHD one I have without any problem- I think it would be a simple swap, but... is it?

Thanks.

As far as I know, if you swap the steering box, stator tube and steering wheel hub from one type to another, you should be good to go.

Personally, I prefer the non-adjustable type, as the adjustment only brings the wheel closer, which is not what I'd want.
 
Hello James,

Please take note, that the trafficator is different for a non adjustable and an adjustable steering wheel. The non adjustable trafficators are very hard to find, if it is not with the steering box.

The stator tube of a non adjustable is running from the wheel all the way dow
maybe 1.5 meters long. The tube of an adjustable box is maybe 50 cm

regards
