Manual Gearbox conversion

[bartman1980]

I am looking for a manual gearbox shifter for a RHD car, I am starting to source all the parts needed for my manual conversion, i have found most off the main items, gearbox, master, slave, relevant pipe work, shifter cables. But I'm struggling to find a gear shifter and bracket. any idea where is good to look. or any advice from members who have done a manual conversion. cheers

I would contact ATR-Parts or MITA. Most scrap yards will have the mechanism and bracket (it's where I got mine for my conversion), but the RHD shift stalk is unique and likely will have to be purchased new unless you can find a RHD wreck somewhere.

Give whrdnsx a yell.

The cast shifter base can be converted from LHD to RHD.

The stamped steel is hard part.

Whrdnsx has begun to fabricate the NLA parts for MT conversion.

I believe the cast AT shifter bracket can be relatively easily modified to work by drilling/tapping a few holes and adding some spacers.

Yes, the cast piece can be converted from AT to MT, to LHD to RHD.

The LHD to RHD is a bit more difficult as the e-brake boss is milled off and has to be rewelded.
