VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 Hallo

Hallo,
I did´t post for a longer time, because with my 31 coupe is everything ok.
Now I have an offer for a 30 Sport roadster but with RHD. Has anybody informations about transforming in a LHD ? Is it possible, difficult to do, or an easy action ?

Thank you and regards from germany
Juergen

Hello Juergen
My 1930 Sports Roadster, I've changed from right to left steering control, it is very easy with another clutch housing with left pedals, another steering box and column, and another steering arm, as well as a new or second base plates and a relocation of steering column keep under the dasboard,
All parts from a left-hand drive car from 1930

Hello Juergen, I have here a 1932 De Luxe Landau which I intend to restore. Has been modified from Right Hand Drive to LHD. And would like to bring it to its original hand. So... maybe we can exchange some parts. Best regards from sunny Argentina, Daniel.

There is a difference between the 1931 and 1932 bellhousings.
1931 has a smaller "Large" hole in the gearbox mounting face and would have to be machined out on a mill or large lathe to fit the 1932 gearbox.

And the 1930 is completely different to 31 and 32

Pedals, steering box and other links could be changed no problem.

oh, I did not notice it was a "1930" model.....and mine is 1932. Sorry.

Hallo Jürgen,
scheint mir auch so, dass Lenkgetriebe und Getriebeglocke gegen Exemplare eines LHD-Autos ausgetauscht werden müssen.
Vom 1930er zum 1931er scheint mir nicht viel Unterschied zu sein. Sollte sich mit dem in der mail genannten "Hot-Rodder" (der einen 1931er gefleddert hat) etwas ergeben, lasse ich es Dich wissen.
Viele Grüße aus den Alpen
