This saga reminded me, rather obliquely, of the occasional opportunities =
for the LHD guys that crop up on UK eBay. I refer to the guys over here =
that are converting repatriated LHDs to RHDs. Steering components, =
dashboards etc=E2=80=A6..these are pretty much useless to us and seem to =
be sold for peanuts.=20
Shipping needn=E2=80=99t be an issue if the vendor can be prised away =
from couriers and induced to use Royal Mail. The latter is normally much =
cheaper and just as quick. And they are much more gullible insofar as =
you can declare practically any value without fear of contradiction.
Just a thought and one which you all probably had years ago.
Something more for people engaged in long-term projects rather than the =
=E2=80=9CNeed it now=E2=80=9D types. Like me, except I usually needed it =
yesterday.

OK, the corrected picture in this email shows where the small arm is =
supposed to be. Because the shaft below it is "keyed", taking the =
e-brake handle from the left side of the tunnel to the right side has it =
angled in the wrong direction. It will not reach the cable clevis this =
way. Today I took it to a machine shop that specializes in welding. =
They are going to mill out the two welds holding the shaft in place, =
turn it 90 degrees and weld it back down. When I decided to make a left =
side e-brake handle into a right side handle who knew the can of worms =
it would open. I thought the ratchet plate was all I needed. =
Everything needed to be flipped in the opposite direction to work. =
Turns out the Spridget e-brake handle is mounted on the left side of the =
tunnel. All this because I had it re-chromed already.
