Right-Hand Conversions: Do You Need An SCR Catalyst Replacement?

By Christine Cooper


If driving on the right is something you absolutely long for then it s a system of driving that you can thank the British for. For whatever reason, if the need to drive on the right is now the only means of getting around. There are some things to consider. Is it cheaper to convert or to buy a totally new car in order to get around? Do you need an SCR catalyst replacement to conform to emission limits?

According to Connal Grace s article on motorhood.com, the average conversion from left to right-hand drive takes around six weeks. In that six weeks, a few crucial elements need to be met in order for it to truly be a success. The first thing that needs to be done regardless of who s services have been acquired is the stripping of the vehicle.

The first thing that will be done in moving over the steering wheel is a removal and the dashboard replacement, for obvious reasons. Dashboards are custom made and therefore will be rendered useless one the thing they were designed for is on the opposite end.

Exposing the innards of the car via the dashboard will show how much work really needs to be done as a slip up can end up as a fatal affair. Because most of the wiring is aligned with the steering wheel for easier access and assembly, the repositioning required includes elements like the brakes, heating and cooling cables as well as controls that happen to be on the door.

Another glaring disadvantage is that no matter how to experience the technicians you seek out you to help with the changeover of your car from left-hand drive to right-hand drive. One mistake with a failing to reinstall a part correctly and it could make the vehicle extremely dangerous to drive.

Wiring and any other parts that may pose a problem later are given first preference during the conversion. Each phase of the conversion features checks to see if there are no problems that need to be sorted out before moving on to the next one in order to avoid delays that may threaten the entire changeover.

This may seem like a lot of work but the alternative is not bothering to import the desired vehicle altogether. Conversion takes time in order for them to be considered a success. Therefore, it s wise to allocate the right amounts of money towards quality parts and craftsmanship because, in this regard, quality beats quantity every time.

With the electronics in the dashboard and working, the steering and means to control the vehicle working as they should, what s left is to return the seats. Or swap the electronics of those seats around if they happen to have any. With everything looking and working like it should when it left the factory, all that s left is a wheel alignment adjustment and the satisfaction of the customer as they set about enjoying their newly converted car.
