These kits provide the necessary components to modify a left-hand drive vehicle for right-hand traffic. Typically, such modifications involve relocating the steering column, dashboard instruments, pedals, and adapting the wiring and linkages. An example might include a comprehensive package containing a new steering rack, modified dashboard, and adapted pedal assembly designed for a specific vehicle model.
Modifying vehicles for opposite-side driving offers significant advantages for individuals importing cars into countries with different traffic regulations. It allows vehicle owners to legally and safely operate imported vehicles on roads designed for right-hand traffic. Historically, this practice stems from the varied global adoption of driving orientation, making these conversions essential for international vehicle trade and personal import situations. This adaptation allows smoother integration into the traffic flow and enhances driver comfort and safety.
