R/H drive conversion

Hi
my recently purchased 1976 ex California car has been partly converted to R/H drive.The steering box and column are fitted, i have a R/H pedal box and a bar that transfers the brake pedal action across the bulkhead to the modified bracket that carries the servo, but i am missing some parts and would like to see a diagram or get any info that will help me complete the conversion or get it done, or checked by someone.Photos of a completed conversion or advice from someone who's done one before would be a great help.
Thanks

Re: R/H drive conversion

If you need them, I have fibreglass dashboard parts for a RHD conversion. Not sure where they were made, but I bought them when I was looking into converting my 1989 Series 3. I never did the conversion, mainly because I was outbid on the mechanical kit of parts that was on Ebay at the time.......!

Re: R/H drive conversion

Thanks AndyT
I was told that my car was part converted by David Ellison From Hull, the guy who did the Bell and Colvill conversions.Quite why it was not finished i'm not sure but i think the staged payments dried up.I have a dash in quite good nick,without a glovebox, which i have read was the standard set up with the B&C conversions. I will keep your offer in mind incase of problems when i come to fit it thanks. I am new to alfas so any info is greatfully accepted.
Cheers m4d

m4d,

What country are you in?, I'm currently doing my 74 spyder, but i went for the floor pedals and the two boosters and new brake/clutch lines. Nearly done.
