changing a lefty to a righty

[mic]

Is it hard to swap it all over to make a LHD a RHD? would only be steering column, pedals and dash??

cheers

You should be able to re-use column, pedal box & master cylinder. Depending on your year, you'll need RHD accelerator pedal & relay shaft, dash cover, 3x new brake lines, new resevoir lines, replace or modify loom, new steering gear - box, relay & arms or new rack complete, cut holes in panels for fitting/access brakes and steering mounts, cut holes & relocate speedo cable, cut new holes and fit patches to dash, new plastics below dash, RHD wipers or you won't see when it rains (more holes & patches) Ideally RHD carpets to inner guard and centre tunnel (rubber inserts).

If you are talking about taking LHD from wrong side of road to RHD, drive on left side of road, you'll need new "RHD" headlights too. (they look the other way).

Just drive on the other side of the road

would it need the registration changing?

Why bother with all the work, many use LHD 126s in the Uk.

You do get used to it, you'll be fairly safe in a 126 and you'll only need to change /get leftward focused headlights.
If you're 'banned' because you bodge things, it would be safer not to try the conversion ?

not a bodger, wifey likes her car as it is i wouldnt try the conversion anyway its gonna be easier to either buy a righty or get used to a lefty

I think a conversion from a LHD to RHD might be classed as a modification, so should have insurance cost implications as well.
