Bulkhead mounts / template.

Post

Back to the top
Here's an odd request,

I've converted my shell from left hand drive to right hand drive but what I need is a template of where to drill from the brake system.

The left hand drive doesn't use the bar system but I need the factory holes to mount the pedal box.

My shell doesn't have the brace from bulkhead the shock tower because it's a left hand drive too, I don't need this but it would show me where to drill the holes.

Photos might make more sense… BB855F73-86E2-4107-87FB-AE3604686C4D.jpeg CA0D11B8-04A0-40C8-A3C7-5C59CB7555E6.jpeg BDC356A5-5E4F-494E-85B9-BDA1EEF557A3.jpeg CBE435A1-140D-461D-92BC-64DAE8BD7676.jpeg B51B5423-4331-4937-9B17-71D315684CED.jpeg 9C7AA14A-D246-4864-9429-90F78688837E.jpeg

That's the point the lhd shell doesn't have these holes due to the servo / master been on the same side. So if I had the bracket I'd know exactly where to drive the holes.

Borrowing a rhd steering column now to line it up.

 Thanks

I'm borrowing a rhd steering column now to line it all up in stock form then I can drill the holes.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

All sorted. Off to lend a stock rhd column so I can mark holes correctly.

Vic what's your location?

The column idea didn't work due to the top part been adjustable to throws it out.

I'd either need a template from either side so I can then overlay it only my shell.
