Where would you need this done? One such facility is in Australia, where many Asian conversians were done

my friend from Australia wants to buy a Viper, unless it's at least 20 or 25 years old it has to be right hand. Do you happen to know the name of the company? thanks

to be honest I thought it would be in the $5000 dollar range, can't see anyone less than a millionaire paying $40,000 for the conversion, guess for now my Aussie buddy will just have to keep driven the rice burners...I've read where people have converted their own vehicles (not Vipers though) by them selves. I guess if there's a kit it could be done in the garage right??? Chuck Tator, Jon B. right???

The motor in your Viper is offset to the right about and inch........this to clear the Left hand OE steering column and rack.
OE belted-accessories and oil lines, Heater-Air, E-brake, pedals, wiring, and more are also Right. The instrument panel is Left.
All this and more has to swap sides.....the RH steering rack comes off an Asian-market Jeep.
It is more labor than parts........

I have seen two Vipers done an 02 yellow RT/10 and a 2002 FE GTS....
Both were done for the CEO of Chrysler UK... FANTASTIC work looks 100% factory...

There is also a guy that posts here that has a 96 Mc Viper Red with yellow wheels ..He is in OZ and is RHD....
