are you leaving the wipers in the standard position or modiflying them for a RHD Sweep

ghettoluxury · 11-27-2009, 09:50 PM

They will stay where they are since It will remain state side

Restrorob · 11-27-2009, 10:14 PM

i would have a hard time shifting with the lefty

Driveway Dreams · 11-27-2009, 10:37 PM

None of them look "right". But they are cool to see. Thanks for sharing. You got many of Aussie customs?

there will be a wiper arch when your driving that the wiper will not clear when its raining as if your in the PASS position !! Something to consider

longbedrick · 11-28-2009, 02:25 AM

ah yes, anyone remember the movie "Swordfish" where Travolta has a manual transmission that's right-hand drive? awesome. seems like a fun challenge getting used to it

I agree, shifting a manual trans with your left hand would be awkward.

I was thinking leaning my arm out the window on the right with a steering wheel in my left would be funny feeling! Oh, for the rest, one word.

*****in!

87 STEPPER · 11-28-2009, 08:58 PM

It would seam to me with every thing shifted around that the gas and brake peddels would be the other way around too!

no they are as they are here "!!

Scootin 81 C20 · 11-28-2009, 09:49 PM

On RHD 4x4's, did they relocate the transfer case shifter to the right side, or did it stay on the left side of the tranny hump?

bb1979 · 11-30-2009, 06:15 AM

Pretty sure they left it on the left hand side, very few K20's where produced over here. The C20's and C30's where built between 1975 and 1980, K20's in limited numbers in 77/78. No C10's unfortunally
