the scuttle panel is LHD/RHD specific but this is jut the part you see at bottom of windscreen.

Do you mean the bulkhead panel?

Paul,I have been daft enough to buy an engineless LHD touring to convert to RHD,so I need the steering column mounts and pedal box mounts...not sure if it is scuttle or bulkhead that I would need....

You dont need the scuttle, this just sits below the windscreen and is a narrow'ish strip.

The bulkhead shouldnt need modifying with a new panel should it? I thought there was a bung or hole that could be pushed out for the steering collumn. I might be wrong though.

No mounts for the pedals :cry: seems to be the main snag,the steering column upper bracket may be easier with a new bit and I have found the hole winkeye for the lower end.
