So it looks like from what you all are saying that if I want to fix it, I have to come up w/ my own solution. Challange accepted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) if you centre the steering wheel on the seat it won't be centred on the guage binnacle of the dashboard. trust me. i went through all this 35 years ago converting my left hand drive 914 to right hand drive for australia. there is so many ins and outs to this. i can tell you a thought that crossed my mind all those years ago as i wrestled with pedal placement, a rhd fibreglass moulded dashbooard (copied from the 1970s english crayford conversion cars) and whether to use a rhd 911 pedal cluster or mod the original left hand drive pedal cluster was the thought that you could realign the seat rails on the same angle as the upper steering column. if it really disturbs you that much this would be far easier to do. just cut the seat rail tabs off the floor and reweld them down so that the seat directly alingns with the steering column. just shifting the steering wheel will move you into a world of pain and other consequences. personally i never picked up the angle of the steering column until i went to do the conversion and had my aha moment. it felt very natural to me ergonomically speaking in left hand drive form and it was a hell of a lot of trouble and careful work to preserve those ergonomics in the conversion. i've sat in and driven some other right hand drive 914s in australia. believe me its possible to get it very very very wrong when meddling with the arrangement of the controls. |
