| this may be a daft question but could anyone tell me it's possible to change a lhd 1967 splitscreen camper to rhd and if so is it worth the effort. my wife won't drive a lhd vehicle. thanks rex |

| Depends if you already have a LHD or are thinking of buying... If you're at the buying stage, look for a RHD import from somewhere like South Africa. If you're looking to convert then I would suspect that finding RHD parts would be an issue, the pedal cluster would be a requirement - everything else you could probably modify. |

| thanks for that, i'll keep looking for a rhd i think. currently looking on vw sites and businesses such as thesamba.com and on ebay where unregistered vans keep popping up, any advice on the risks of purchasing such a thing and general advice on where to look would be great. thanks again rex :) |

| Drop Tim at [url=https://www.air-cooled.net/]https://www.air-cooled.net/[/url] an email, ask him if he's got any RHD imports available. I've never bought from him, but he seems pretty reasonable. |

| Check this ad for a RHD 15-window split in SA. It is a runner needing some body restoration (rust and some dents). https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=202687 |
