OK answered my own lack of knowledge, had a look at their website again and they do their own but are also agents for FFR,
Has anyone done an FFR RHD conversion ?

I have a done a RHD conversion on a Coupe which is basically the same chassis as a Roadster. You use a Cortina TE/ TF steering rack and a few bits from summit....a bit of welding and you have a RHD FFR.

Dave you are one extreme individual
Ha ha ha I know, maybe I'm my own worst enemy.... Actually I want to ditch the 4g63 and fit a 13B turbo bridge port rotary motor. I just can't get the acceleration I'm looking for from the 4g63. I have a hybrid T3/T04 ball bearing turbo ,15psi boost ,full forged internals and ARP every bolt you can and still I just want more.....She spins the wheels 1st-2nd-3rd but I want more...and I think a 450hp Rotor will do the job I want in my 650kg Clubby.

Dave, what about pedal box and mastercyls etc did you just mirror mountings on the other side, and for engineering, does the rack have to go through any special treatment or is it a RHD version of what would normally fit in the coup.
Pics look great by the way

regards

Dave

No special Engineering as you only have to redrill one hole to mount the rack in the same location as original. The TE Cortina rod ends fit into the Mustang uprights with little spacers that extend the rack (something the Clubman Boys do all the time with their +100 cars so getting them was easy.

I used a Falcon steering column, but you can use any Aussie column. But yeah I just mirrored the left side with pedals and such. The kit comes with Wilwood pedals and mastercylinders which are quite universal. No serious frame mods. All very easy and I had no troubles registering the car as FFR fit approved side intrusion and so on.....

Albany,
What sort of shipping costs did you incur or did you get the kit locally?
Did you have to supply any engineering data to engineers to prove chassis soundness and adrs etc ?
