I have an update...
I very well priced ERA 427 came up recently. I checked with ERA about the amount of work required for a RHD conversion, and here is the response :
"New footboxes and tunnel.
Shift the pedal assembly to the right frame rail. Includes drilling and
welding on the frame rail, new pedals and throttle linkage.
Shift the engine 1" to the left with new engine and transmission mounts.
New dashboard.
New steering gear and mounts (welding required).
Probably more stuff that I haven't remembered.
If we were to do it here, the process might cost $10K+.
IMHO, not practical."
So....not pursuing that angle any further.
If anybody else wants to though, Ernie (Excaliber) has a nice and very well priced ERA 427, built in 1986-87
Cheers,
Glen
