Hi Steve,
I'd contact an old friend of mine, Steve Pike from down under. Please
tell him I sent you. I know he's converted many BJ8's to RHD and must
have a bunch of LHD parts on the shelf. I'm sure he could also help
with any tips about reversing his procedure. He got a '67 from me that
had a perfect facia in it. I'm still kicking myself for not having
pulled that out first. But that was 30+ years ago when I was young and
stupid. Now I'm just old and still stupid, dammit! Try this:
http://www.austinhealey.com.au/ But if that doesn't work, I'm sure Hoo
Roo or Joe could chime in with a newer URL.
HTH,
Bill Barnett
'53 BN1 #663
