    Right hand drive in the USA

    I haven't noticed any differences with the pedal arrangement between LHD and RHD cars. I've had four RHD cars in the US. Driving the GT40 (RHD) with the shifter on the right is much easier than driving a RHD car with the shifter in the center because shifting with your right hand is what...

    original door lock release mechanism

    I just noticed the first message in the thread. If by "original" you mean as found in an original GT40, wouldn't the original part be from a Ford, not a Rover?
