Plenty of parts down here
Canadia got all LHD as well as US, sucks cause thatd be great if they did get RHD's up there. there'd be a shit-ton moreOriginally Posted by geezer101
Completely forgot about having to swap the wiper arm assembly. It would be nice if you could get parts to do the factory RHD swap. Wonder if you'd get anything out of Canada...
RHD vehicles in the states thats for sure.
I been thinking about ur PM about the wiper/turn signal switches roundd the steering wheel. like i said i didnt realize that
the RHD cars have the headlight/turnsignal stalk on the Right side of the wheel, rather than on the left side as the LHD
vehicles have. You said it'd be a pain to deal with them switched as of 20years of driving used to it on the left...
But after some pondering, i realized what a PITA its gonna be to keep it on the left like it is OEM stateside.
picture it, every time your coming to a stop & turn, your downshifting with your right hand and steering with ur left.
You hit the turn signal stalk with your middle or ring finger as your steering with your LEFT hand, prolly positioned on the
LEFTish side of the wheel.
Now imagine your driving a RHD rigg, doing the same stop & turn. your downshifting with your left hand, and steering
with your RIGHT. as you start slowing down you have to reach up with your LEFT hand, or move ur RIGHT hand around the
steering wheel to reach the turn signal stalk on the left side of the wheel. RHD riggs, esp manual transmissions, you steer
dominantly with your RIGHT hand. so to have the turn signal stalk as close to your dominant steering hand for smooth, quick
& fluid access only makes sense. Not an immediate issue, but definitley worth getting the proper RHD switches in the future.
well the UK is less than satifactory, i bet things would arrive quicker from the other side of the globe, rather
than 5000miles away cross the atlantic..., this is just stupid.
that sure sounded like an offer to ship things up & over to
Im not tryin to talk shite about the british, im sure theres alot of very hard workers on that island,
but the x2 guys ive dealt with in the past 2 weeks were less than ambitious. IDK, i just want this box to get
here so i can move everthing over & done. then i can get blastin & painting the frame, and all the NON-exteriour
body panels. i finshed the clutch pedal support backet, just need to weld on m8 nuts and spot-weld the whole
onto the firewall above the column:
