Question How to move steering

I would like to move my steering column to the other side on my 87 Regal. Could anyone recommend a place that sells a kit to do so?

I don't think anyone makes a kit to move the steering wheel to the other side of a regal. I don't think GM ever even made a right hand drive 78-87 regal for England, Japan, etc... so you will have to fabricate all of the parts yourself.

Why are you trying to convert you car to right hand drive anyway?

I'm just doing it to be different. I'm tired of looking at the same old thing on everyones car. And no one here has anything like it.

Tony,
Your request is next to impossible, unless your Jesse James or something.
You'll have to get a new rack and pinion. You'll have to custom make a new dash. You'll have to reinforce the fire wall on the passengers side to mount the brake booster and master cylinder. This would probably mean turning the entire drivetrain around to make room for the stearing. It has to be one of the most difficult projects I've ever pondered! I am assuming this is an 87 Regal Custom FWD? right?

Re: How to move steering

The only way this can be done safely is to have an automotive engineer draw up blueprints for this and then you need to have many parts custom fabricated, and also will need to learn how to adjust the radio volume w/ your left hand....As the saying goes in England..."Keep left and you'll be allright, keep right and there will be nothing left"
