Hi Geoff,

Many thanks for your valuable information.

I'll see if I move ahead into the conversion. It's very good to know there as the chance to get the parts.

Any idea on the costs for your parts?

except a few 400-406 LHD examples .
The other car worth investigating for a LHD rack is a 1936-9 BMW 326 , these
were made in large numbers (about 15,000 from memory mainly LHD ) compared
to Bristol
and Bristol copied most of their suspension and steering so there is a good
chance it will just bolt on .
Good luck with our search it will be well worth it
Happy New Year
